Overview

Constructions in geometry use a ruler and compasses to make exact angles, line segments, triangles, perpendiculars, parallels, and circles related to triangles. The chapter covers the basic methods for copying and bisecting angles, drawing special angles such as 60°, 90°, 45°, 120°, 135°, and 75°, c

Key Concepts

To copy an angle

To copy an angle, the same radius is used to draw arcs at the original vertex and the new vertex. The distance between the two points where the first

An angle is bisected by drawing

An angle is bisected by drawing equal arcs from the two arm points of the angle, using a radius more than half of the distance between those points, a

60° is made by an equilateral

60° is made by an equilateral-triangle method, 90° by a perpendicular construction, 45° by bisecting 90°, 120° by extending the 60° construction, 135°

A perpendicular bisector cuts a segment

A perpendicular bisector cuts a segment into two equal parts at a right angle. The intersecting arcs must be drawn on both sides of the segment with r

A perpendicular can be drawn through

A perpendicular can be drawn through a point on a line by constructing a 90° angle, or from a point outside a line by using equal arcs from the points
