Angles
This is the most precise name for 2 quadrilaterals that have all equal angles.
What is a rectangle and square?
If two line segments have the same length, we can say they are _
What are congruent line segments?
How can you construct a right angle?
Drawing a perpendicular line.
The first step to drawing a segment bisector is...
Place the needle at one end of the line, and the pencil more than halfway.
This divides an ANGLE into two equal parts
What is an angle bisector?
Where do you draw the circles for a segment bisector?
On the left and right ends of the segment.
What is the exact definition of an angle?
2 rays that share an endpoint.
How many straight lines should be drawn to construct parallel lines?
3
What is the difference between a RAY and a LINE SEGMENT?
A line segment is a set of all points on a line between 2 endpoints. o----o
A ray is a set of all point son a line with 1 endpoint that extends in the other direction infinitely ----->
Explain the steps of an angle bisector construction...
Make a circle from the vertex that intersects both rays. From each point, make an circle using the same compass width (same radius), then connect the vertex to the "X" with a straightedge.
Generally explain how to construct a line parallel to a point not on the line.
Construct a perp. bisector to the 1st line (using 3 circles). Then another perp. bisector one to the 2nd line (drawing two more circles). Finally, make a line through the intersection points.
Explain the steps of constructing a perpendicular bisector.
From each endpoint, the compass should measure more than halfway between them, make a circle on each endpoint of the segment, draw the intersection from the points.
Why do we use congruent circles in our constructions?
Because congruent circles have the congruent radii which allows us to create congruent segments.
