How to Construct Triangles: A Step-by-Step Guide

The video tutorial covers the construction of triangles, starting with basic definitions and moving to more complex constructions. It explains how to construct triangles using given sides, angles, and the sum of two sides. The tutorial also introduces an alternative method using the isosceles triangle theorem. Practical tips for exams, such as using a pencil and labeling diagrams, are provided.

What is the minimum information needed to construct a triangle?

• Two sides and one angle

• Three sides

• Three angles

• One side and two angles

If a triangle has angles of 50 degrees and 70 degrees, what is the measure of the third angle?

• 60 degrees

• 70 degrees

• 80 degrees

• 90 degrees

In the perpendicular bisector method, what is the significance of the point where the bisector cuts the line?

• It is the center of the triangle

• It is the point where the triangle is completed

• It is the midpoint of the base

• It is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment

What is the base length of triangle PQR in the perpendicular bisector method?

• 6 cm

• 5 cm

• 4 cm

• 3 cm

According to the isosceles triangle theorem, what happens if two angles of a triangle are equal?

• The triangle becomes a scalene triangle

• The triangle becomes an equilateral triangle

• The sides opposite to these angles are equal

• The triangle becomes a right triangle

In the isosceles triangle theorem method, what angle is drawn from point R?

• 25 degrees

• 30 degrees

• 35 degrees

• 40 degrees

What should you always use to draw diagrams during exams?

• Pencil

• Pen

• Crayon

• Marker
