Unit 1: Lesson 4 Constructing Equilateral Triangles

1. ) I Notice. I Wonder?
Below is a picture of a Geometric Construction. Identify [b]3 things that you Notice[/b] and [b]2 things that you wonder. [/b]
2. ) Spot the Equilaterals
Use straightedge and compass moves to construct at least 2 equilateral triangles.
Spot the Equilaterals
3.) Creating Perpendicular Lines
Directions: Use a straightedge and compass to construct a line perpendicular to L, that goes through C.
Challenge #1:
Create a line that is (perfectly) Perpendicular to Line AB.
Challenge #2 "Stuck in a Circle"
Use Straightedge and Compass moves to create an Equilateral Triangle inscribed in this circle. Use the polygon tool to create it, once you have constructed the position of your verticies.
