[b][size=150]1. Let's use tools to create shapes precisely. I can copy this figure using only the pencil tool and no other tools.[/size][/b]

[size=150][b]2. I can familiarize myself with the digital straightedge and compass tools.[br][/b][list][*][b]Draw a few circles of different sizes [br][/b][/*][*][b]Draw a few line segments of different lengths[/b][/*][*][b]Extend some of those line segments in both directions. [/b][/*][*][b]You can also play with some of the other tools, as well.[/b][/*][/list][/size]

[size=150][b]3. I can copy the figure by completing these steps with the [u]Line[/u], [u]Segment[/u], and [u]Ray[/u] tools and the [u]Circle [/u]and [u]Compass[/u] tools:[br][/b][list=1][*][b]Draw a point anywhere and label it [i]A[/i].[/b][/*][*][b]Draw a circle centered at point [i]A[/i] with a radius equal to length [i]PQ[/i].[br][/b][list][*][b]Select the Compass tool (circle with line segment underneath)[/b][/*][*][b]You will click point P and then point Q - this will make your new circle have a radius equal to the length of PQ[/b][/*][*][b]Then move your circle and click on point A - this will make your circle have a center at Point A[br][/b][/*][/list][/*][*][b]Mark a point on the circle and label it [i]B[/i].[/b][/*][*][b]Draw another circle centered at point [i]B[/i] that goes through point [i]A[/i].[br][/b][list][*][b]Select the Circle with Center through Point tool[/b][/*][*][b]Click on point B - this will make the center of your new circle at point B[/b][/*][*][b]Click on point A - this will make your new circle go through point A[br][/b][/*][/list][/*][*][b]Draw a line segment between points [i]A[/i] and [i]B[/i].[br][/b][/*][/list][/size]

[size=200][size=150][b][u]Directions[/u]: [br][/b][list=1][*][b]Create a circle centered at [i]A[/i] with radius [i]AB[/i]. (hint: use the Compass tool like in the previous problem)[/b][/*][*][b]Estimate the midpoint of segment [i]AB[/i], mark it with the Point on Object tool, and label it [i]C[/i].[/b][/*][*][b]Create a circle centered at [i]B[/i] with radius [i]BC[/i]. (Use the Compass tool)[br][/b][/*][*][b]Mark the 2 intersection points of the circles with the Intersection tool. (Tool looks like two lines crossing with a red point where they intersection/cross)[br][/b][/*][*][b]Label the one toward the top of the page as [i]D[/i] and the one toward the bottom as [i]E[/i].[/b][/*][*][b]Use the Polygon tool (looks like a Triangle) to connect points [i]A[/i], [i]D[/i], and [i]E[/i] to make triangle .[/b][/*][/list][b][size=100][u]Note:[/u] The points may already labeled for you as you create your figure. If you are not sure of the name of the tool, hover your mouse over it and the name will appear, directions for using it will appear at the bottom of the screen.[/size][/b][/size][/size]
