Overview
Geometrical constructions form the foundation of practical geometry, teaching us to create precise geometrical figures using only basic instruments - an ungraduated ruler (straight edge) and a compass. This chapter builds upon your previous knowledge while introducing logical proofs and justificatio
Key Concepts
Construction uses only ungraduated ruler (for
Construction uses only ungraduated ruler (for drawing straight lines) and compass (for drawing arcs and circles). Step-by-step approach: First draw ro
Method
Method: Draw equal arcs from both endpoints of line segment with radius > half the segment length → Join intersection points. Proof: Uses SSS congruen
Method
Method: Draw arc from angle vertex cutting both rays → From intersection points, draw equal arcs → Join vertex to arc intersection. Proof: Uses SSS co
60° angle
60° angle: Use compass radius to create equilateral triangle (all angles 60°). 90° angle: Combine two 60° constructions or use perpendicular bisector
Given
Given: base BC, angle B, and AB + AC. Method: Extend base ray to distance equal to sum → Use perpendicular bisector to locate third vertex. Key insigh
