anonymous · Answer

Can you help @Photon336

anonymous · Answer

No!! It just that question, I think it about construction like with a compass and protractor. But i have no idea how to do that!

anonymous · Answer

Oh. wait I see I would explain it by saying something like first you would take your compass and open it to the length of AB and then go through the steps right!

photon336 · Answer

you could use the protractor to measure out the line segment

directrix · Answer

Protractors may not be used in classic Greek constructions - just a straighedge.

anonymous · Answer

right a straight edge  but would that be right if you did that then you would explain the steps=)

directrix · Answer

You cannot use any measuring device.  Do you want me to show you a way to do the construction?

anonymous · Answer

yes please, I'm confused =(

directrix · Answer

Start with a given segment AB. We do not know how many inches long it is.
