Constructions Review SKG

Front

What is an Angle Bisector?

Back

An angle bisector is a line or ray that divides an angle into two equal parts.

Front

What is the construction of a perpendicular bisector?

Back

The construction of a perpendicular bisector involves finding the midpoint of a line segment and drawing a line perpendicular to the segment at that midpoint.

Front

What is a Congruent Segment?

Back

Congruent segments are line segments that have the same length.

Front

What is the process of copying an angle?

Back

Copying an angle involves using a compass and straightedge to create an angle that is equal in measure to a given angle.

Front

What is the purpose of constructing a perpendicular line?

Back

Constructing a perpendicular line is used to create right angles, which are essential in various geometric constructions.

Front

What are construction marks?

Back

Construction marks are small symbols or notations used to indicate specific points or lines during geometric constructions.

Front

What is the significance of the midpoint in constructions?

Back

The midpoint is significant in constructions as it helps in creating bisectors and ensuring symmetry in geometric figures.

Front

How do you construct a line parallel to a given line?

Back

To construct a line parallel to a given line, you copy an angle formed by the given line and a transversal.

Front

What is the difference between a segment bisector and an angle bisector?

Back

A segment bisector divides a line segment into two equal parts, while an angle bisector divides an angle into two equal angles.

Front

What tools are commonly used in geometric constructions?

Back

Common tools include a compass, straightedge, and protractor.
