1. Create a circle centered at A with radius AB.[br][br]2. Estimate the midpoint of segment AB and label it C.[br]When you create a point in this applet, there will not be a label. [br]To create a label, select the point, then click on the Style Bar. [br]Change the label of the point to C. Be sure to check the box "Show Label."[br][br]3. Create a circle centered at B with radius BC. This creates 2 intersection points. [br]Label the one toward the top of the page as D and the one toward the bottom as E.[br][br]4. Connect points A, D, and E using the polygon tool to make triangle ADE.[br][br]5. Try doing the DRAG TEST. (This is where you try to move each of the points to see if the drawing is a true construction, where it retains its properties).
6. Why do you think that the title of this is "Illegal Construction Moves." [br]What was it supposed to be a construction of, and what about the steps you followed caused it to fail the drag test?
