Copying a Segment Draw a segment AB. Draw a point C not on the segment. Select point C and the segment and go to construct circle by center and radius. Draw a segment C to the circle. Select the 2 segments and go to measure length. Move A or B. Midpoint by a Perpendicular Bisector Draw a segment AB. Select A followed by B and go to construct circle by center and point. Repeat this step by selecting the points in the opposite order. Put two points where the circles intersect each other. Select the two points and go to construct line. This is a perpendicular bisector of the segment. Put a point where this line intersects the segment and measure the distance from this point to the endpoints to see that they are equal (select the midpoint followed by an endpoint and measure distance). Select points A, B and the midpoint and go to measure abscissa. Repeat to measure the ordinate of each point. Use the calculator to use the midpoint formula you learned in class (make sure you use parentheses). Now the easy way make a new segment, select it and go to construct midpoint. Copying an Angle Draw angle ABC with the segment tool (make sure B is the vertex). Draw segment DE. Select, in order A, B, C and go to transform mark angle. Double click D. Select E and go to transform rotate. Click rotate. Select D followed by the rotated point E and go to construct ray. Measure the two angles to make sure they are the same (to measure angles - select the 3 points that make the angle make sure the vertex is second A, B, C and go to measure angle). Right click on the rotated point and hide it. Go to edit, select all and then go to the last tool (right below the A tool) and hold down on it and then pull over to create new tool. Call it angle copy. Save this sketch as angle copy. Go to file new. Draw a new angle ABC and a new segment DE. Click on the last tool and then click in order A, B, C, D, E. You should have a copy of the angle automatically appear. Angle Bisectors We will first construct an angle bisector with circles. Draw ray AB and ray AC (you have to click and hold the segment tool and then move your mouse to the ray symbol). This makes angle BAC. Select A and then B and go to construct, circle by center and point. Select the circle and ray AC and go to construct intersection (this should be point D). Select B and then D and go to construct circle by center and point. Select D and then B and do it again. Put a point where the two circles intersect each other in the interior of the angle, call it E. Select A followed by E and go to construct ray. This should be an angle bisector. Measure the 3 angles to show that we have bisected angle BAC. Linear pairs Draw a line AB (hold down the segment tool and move it over to the line symbol). Put a point C between A and B. Draw a ray CD. Select A, C, and D and go to measure angle. Do the same for angle BCD. These two angles are called a linear pair. Write a conjecture about how these angle measures are related. Vertical Angles Draw line AB and CD so they intersect. Put a point E at the intersection. Measure angles AEC and DEB. These angles are called vertical angles. Write a conjecture about how these angle measures are related. Perpendiculars 1. Draw line AB. Put point C on this line. Select C followed by B and go to construct circle by center and point. Put point D where the circle intersects the line. Select B and then D and go to construct circle by center and point. Repeat but with D first and B second. Put a point E where the two circles intersect. Select E and C and go to construct line. Measure an angle to make sure you have a perpendicular line. 2. Draw a line AB. Put a point C not on the line. Select C and then B and go to construct circle by center and point. Put point D where the circle and line intersect. Select D and then B and go to construct circle by center and point. Repeat but with B first and D second. Put a point E where the two circles intersect.

Select E and C and go to construct line. Measure an angle to make sure you have a perpendicular line. Print. 3. Now the easy wayDraw a line AB. Select A and the line and go to construct perpendicular. Measure an angle to make sure (you will need to put a point on the new line). Put a point D not on the lines. Select D and line AB and go to construct perpendicular line. Measure an angle as a check. Print.
