TOPIC 2 Construction Practice

  • 1. Parallel Line Construction

2.1.

Parallel Line Construction

[b]Understanding PARALLEL LINES.[/b][br][br][color=#0000ff][i]The definition is two coplanar lines that do not intersect..[/i][br][br][/color][size=150]Use the parallel lines tool to visualize what parallel lines look like. [br]Drag A and/or B to see the impact on the parallel lines.[/size]
[size=150][b]Construct the line that is both parallel to the given line and runs through the given point using the same steps from your notes in class.[/b] [/size][br][br][color=#ff0000][b][color=#ff0000]When using the compass tool:[br][list][*]You must click on two points to set the measurement of your compass. [/*][*]Then click on where you want the compass centered.[/*][*]YOU WILL NEED TO ADD A POINTS where the compass intersects other figures[/*][/list][/color][/b][/color][br]Drag A to see the impact on the parallel lines.

3.1.

Perpendicular Line Constructions

[b]Understanding PERPENDICULAR LINES.[/b][br][br][color=#0000ff][i]The definition is two lines that intersect and form right angles.[br][/i][br][/color][size=150]Use the perpendicular line tool to visualize where what perpendicular lines are. [br]Drag A and/or B to see the impact on the perpendicular lines.[/size]
[size=150][b]Construct the line that is both perpendicular to the given line and runs through the given point using the same steps from your notes in class.[/b] [/size][br][br][color=#ff0000][b][color=#ff0000]When using the compass tool:[br][list][*]You must click on two points to set the measurement of your compass. [/*][*]Then click on where you want the compass centered.[/*][*]YOU WILL NEED TO ADD A POINTS where the compass intersects other figures[/*][/list][/color][/b][/color][br]Drag A to see the impact on the perpendicular lines.

Tangent Construction, Given a Circle & External Point

[size=150][b]Construct the tangent to the given circle through the given external point using the same steps from your notes in class.[/b] [/size][br][br][color=#ff0000][b][color=#ff0000]When using the compass tool:[br][list][*]You must click on two points to set the measurement of your compass. [/*][*]Then click on where you want the compass centered.[/*][*]YOU WILL NEED TO ADD A POINTS where the compass intersects other figures[/*][/list][/color][/b][/color][br]Drag B to see the impact on the parallel lines.
