Prepare for Battle.....

Remember---- "The" Construction Test is tomorrow!

Practice doing your basic constructions:
  1. duplicating a line segment
  2. duplicating an angle
  3. bisecting a line segment
  4. bisecting an angle
  5. perpendicular through a point NOT on a line
  6. perpendicular through a point ON a line
  7. parallel line using the rhombus method
  8. parallel line using the equidistant method
  9. equilateral triangle

Once you have those down pat, use your knowledge to construct various things such as the centers (incenter, orthocenter, centroid, circumcenter) of a triangle. Practice inscribing a circle within a triangle as well as circumscribing a circle about a triangle. Know how to construct a square with a given perimeter. Know how to construct various angles such as a 30 degree angle or a 22 and half degree angle. Know how to duplicate angles and segments in order to form a triangle. Basically, you MUST know EVERYTHING!
