Constructing PolygonsUsing only the circle, line segment and point tools, we are able to construct an equilateral triangle (as seen below.) Given a limited set of tools, contstruct either a square, isosceles trapezoid, rhombus, or any regular polygon of your liking. Check your polygon by using the angle, distance and slope tools. After you have made your construction, can you think of a better way to make the same figure? Have a partner look at your drawing and see if they can make the same construction (hopefully in the same order as yours was made!) Catherine O'Neill, Created with GeoGebra |
