radius
The distance from the center of a circle to any point on the circle
What is the first step in drawing an equilateral triangle?
Draw two points
What does mean?
line AB, continues infinitely on both sides
What happens twice in a week but once in a year?
the letter e
compass
a drawing instrument used for drawing circles and arcs. It has two legs, one with a point and the other with a pencil or lead
second step in drawing an equilateral triangle?
draw a circle from each point with the radius of the circle as the distance between the points
What could mean?
line segment AB, distance from A to B
What has to be broken before you can use it?
An egg
perpendicular lines
two lines that have one point in common and the four angles formed at that point of intersection are right angles
Why is it important to record the steps you take when making a construction?
In order to be able to justify your answer and to explain how you got to it.
How would you write "ray AB?"
What does every odd number have in common?
the letter e
parallel lines
two lines that live in the same plane but have no points in common
1. Create a circle from each endpoint using the length of the segment as the radius. (Create Circle A, Center A, radius AB & Circle B, Center B, radius BA).
2. Label the two points where the circles intersect - the two points that are equidistant from each endpoint (Label the intersections of Circle A & B as C & D).
3. Connect the intersection points with a straight edge. (Draw CD).

equidistant
at equal distances; point P is said to be equidistant from two points A and B if AP = PB.
why can we use circles to create equilateral triangles?
since one property of a circle is that the radius is equidistant from every point on the circle, we can utilize this property to create equilateral triangles. by setting the radius of our circles as the distance between the initial two points, we can ensure that every point on the circles that we draw are equidistant from their centers. Once we can see where the two circles intersect, we have an equilateral triangle.
