Unit 2 Constructions Review

2-1 Construct an Inscribed Regular Hexagon and

Inscribed equilateral triangle.-Measuring radius distance to make arcs.

-Properties of equilateral triangle- All interior

angles measure 60 degrees.

2-2 Construct an equilateral triangle GIVEN sidelength.

Construct a perpendicular bisector GIVEN

side length.-Measuring side length to make congruent

segments.

Construct an inscribed Square.-Properties of squares- Diagonals are

perpendicular Bisectors.

-Diagonal of a square is the diameter of the circle

around it.

2-3 Constructing a Circumscribed circle ( or

inscribed triangle)-Circumcenter — Point of concurrence where 2

perpendicular Bisectors cross

-Properties of the circumcenter (Where is it if

triangle is acute, right, Obtuse?). Equidistant from

vertices.

2-4 Perpendicular lines through points off and on

the line.Construct an Altitude-Create a SEGMENT first, then perpendicular

bisector.

-Definition of Altitude* use construction of perp.

line through a point off the line to help you

construct an ALTITUDE. Construction looks like:

Constructing a square with given side length.

-Extend a side perpendicular Bisector

Measure lengths.

2-5 Constructing an angle bisector.-Construct a 30 degree angle.

-Construct a 45 degree angle.

2-6 Constructing an inscribed circle.

Construction looks like:

-Properties of Incenter ( Equidistant from sides,

formed by angle bisector.-Construct the incenter (center of the circle),construct a line perp. to a side through incenter
