Purpose
You will use this worksheet to perform four basic constructions:
1) Copy a segment
2) Bisect a segment
3) Copy an angle
4) Bisect an angle
1) Copy a segment
In the window below, use the tools to copy the given segment. Use the Distance tool to show that the segments are the same length.
2) Bisect a segment
In the window below, use the tools to construct a perpendicular bisector. Use the distance tool to show that the two pieces of the segment are the same length.
3) Copy an angle
In the window below, use the tools to construct an angle congruent to the one given. Use the angle measurement tool to show that the angles have the same measure.
4) Bisect an angle
In the window below, use the tools to bisect the given angle. Use the angle measuring tool to show that the two angles are congruent.
