Learning Targets:Â
I can construct a line that is perpendicular to a given line through a point on the line.
I can construct an angle bisector.
angle bisector: A line through the vertex of an angle that divides it into two equal angles.
Standards Addressed:
G-CO.D.12: Make formal geometric constructions with a variety of tools and methods (compass and straightedge, string, reflective devices, paper folding, dynamic geometric software, etc.). Copying a segment; copying an angle; bisecting a segment; bisecting an angle; constructing perpendicular lines, including the perpendicular bisector of a line segment; and constructing a line parallel to a given line through a point not on the line.
What shape do you think is the most useful so far in our constructions?
