Given a segment with endpoints A and B, what figure can you construct using the
steps below?
Step 1: Draw a ray with endpoint C
Step 2: Open the compass to the length of line AB
Step 3: With the same compass setting, put the compass point on point C. Draw an
arc that intersects the ray. Label the point of intersection D. - correct answer ✔✔A
congruent segment
Given the segment with endpoints A and B, what figure can you construct using the
steps below?
Step 1: Put the compass point on A and draw a long arc. Be sure the opening is
greater than 1/2 AB.
Step 2: With the compass on the same setting, put the compass point on B and
draw another long arc. Label the points where the two arcs meet as X and Y.
Step 3: Draw line XY. Label the point of intersection of line AB and XY as M, the
midpoint of line AB. - correct answer ✔✔A perpendicular bisector
Given an angle A, what figure can you construct using the steps below?
Step 1: Put the compass point on vertex A. Draw an arc that intersects the sides of
∠A. Label the points of intersection B and C.
Step 2: Put the compass point on C and draw an arc. With the same compass
setting, draw an arc using point B. Be sure the arcs intersect. Label the point where
the two arcs intersect as D.
Step 3: Draw ray AD. - correct answer ✔✔an angle bisector
Given an angle A, what figure can you construct using the steps below?
Step 1: draw a ray with enpoint S.
Step 2: with the compass point on vertex A, draw an arc that intersects the sides of
∠A. Label the points of intersection B and C.
