Question

happyfeet8040 · Answer

Kevin uses technology to construct parallel lines. Kyle uses a compass and straightedge to construct parallel lines. Describe how Kyle's construction steps will be similar to Kevin's construction steps?

azionne · Answer

because there both trying to construct parallel lines

azionne · Answer

is that good

happyfeet8040 · Answer

no lol

azionne · Answer

well i tried

happyfeet8040 · Answer

The answer I came up with is that they will both be the same

happyfeet8040 · Answer

Because I really dont understand this

azionne · Answer

that would have been my second guess

how do yo draw a parallel line

First draw a line

Well if you are using a computer to draw 2 parallel lines

>> You draw the first line

>> and then you need to pick a point through which the parallel line will pass, 

>> and then i guess the computer will draw the 2nd line for you

ybarrap · Answer

Next mark off at least two fixed points a distance x from this line

The lines are now parallel

This is how we would do it problematically using a computer.

Ohhhh okay. I kinda get it now. Thank you guys. I've never used technology to construct parrallel lines so I was confused for a second

happyfeet8040 · Answer

So would the similarity be that you pick a point through which the parallel line will pass?

paxpolaris · Answer

Using compass and straight edge your first two steps would have to be the same:

Well if you are using a computer to draw 2 parallel lines

>> You draw the first line (line l)

>> and then you need to pick a point through which the parallel line will pass,  (point A that is not on line l)

>> Then using your compass you can figure out where the 2nd line goes ... ( there might be couple different ways)

Ohh okay. Thank you so so much! I've had to repost this question so many times.

I really appreciate your help, thank you  :)

paxpolaris · Answer

Using perpendicular lines:|dw:1447701673639:dw|


By making a Parallelogram/rhombus
>> pick any two points B and C on line l
>> Using Compass, draw arc from C of length AB
                                draw arc from A of length BC ... the two Arcs meet  at point D. Draw parallel line AD|dw:1447702181760:dw|
