Unit 3: TOOLS OF GEOMETRY
CONCEPT - VISUALIZATION
How would you explain, demonstrate, and apply the construction process?
What is the role of Geometric Construction in Engineering, Construction, Architecture and Design?
How do we use Geometry to make art and design appear true to life?

The following constructions are the basis for the unit. We will complete the constructions by using a compass and straightedge AND using Geometry Software
Construction #1: Duplicate a segment
Construction #2: Duplicate and angle
IXL C.7
Construction #3: Perpendicular Bisector of a segment
IXL B.9
Construction #4: Perpendicular to a line from a point not on the line
IXL D.2
Construction #5: Perpendicular to a line from a point on the line
IXL D.2
Construction #6: Bisector of an angle
IXL C.6
Construction #7: Parallel to a line though a point--copy angle method
IXL D.5
Construction #7: Parallel to a line thought a point--rhombus method
EXTRA IXL Completion
G.5 Equilateral Triangle or Regular Hexagons
G.6 Construct a Square
