Constructing Parallel Lines with Arcs in Mathspad

What is the first step in constructing parallel lines with arcs?

• Measuring an angle

• Drawing a line and a point

• Creating an arc

• Drawing a circle

Why do we unlock the compass initially?

• To create a larger arc

• To go roughly halfway between the vertex and the point

• To measure the length of the line

• To draw a straight line

What is the purpose of creating the first arc with the compass?

• To create a reference for the angle

• To measure the distance between two points

• To mark the midpoint of the line

• To draw a circle

What do we do after creating the first arc at the point?

• Draw a line

• Measure the angle

• Create another arc at the point

• Unlock the compass

Where do you place the compass to create the second arc?

• At the midpoint of the line

• At the intersection of the arcs

• At the point

• At the vertex of the angle

What type of angles are formed when the parallel lines are constructed?
