Unit 2 Task 2

Multiple Choice

The drawing shows a compass and straight edge construction of...what?

• the bisector of a given angle

• a perpendicular to a given line at a point on the line

• a perpendicular to a given line from a point NOT on the line

• an angle congruent to a given angle

Multiple Choice

When bisecting an angle, the straightedge should be used to:
