To bisect a line segment using a compass and a straightedge, follow these steps: Place the compass at one endpoint of the line segment and set the radius to be more than half the segment's length. Draw an arc above and below the line. Without changing the compass setting, place the compass at the other...

To construct a circle from three given points using a compass and straightedge, follow these steps: Draw two line segments connecting the three given points. Suppose the points are A, B, and C. Draw segment AB and segment BC. Bisect segment AB: Place the compass at A and set the radius to be more than...

Construction of the Tangent Line Identify Key Elements Given a circle with center O and a point P outside the circle, we aim to construct a tangent from P to the circle. Connect P to O Draw the line segment PO, which represents the radial distance from the external point to the circle’s center. Bisect...

To construct a tangent to a given circle at a specified point on its circumference, follow these steps: Identify Key Elements Let the given circle have center O. Let P be the point on the circle where the tangent will be drawn. Draw the Radius to the Point of Tangency Use a straightedge to draw...

Constructing a Triangle from Three Given Line Segments Using a Compass and Straightedge To construct a triangle when given three line segments (let’s call them A, B, and C), follow these steps: Check the Triangle Inequality: Ensure that the sum of any two segments is greater than the third segment. That is: A+B>CA + B...

To divide a chart axis into equal segments using a ruler (or scale), follow these steps: Identify the length of the axis that needs to be divided into equal parts. Place a ruler at an angle across the axis, so that the zero mark aligns with the starting point of the axis. Adjust the ruler’s...

To divide a line into equal segments using a ruler and two triangles, follow these steps: Draw the given line and label its endpoints. Place one triangle with one edge aligned along the given line. Position the second triangle against the first so they can slide together while maintaining a consistent orientation. Align the ruler...

To drop a perpendicular line from a given point onto a given line using a compass and a straightedge, follow these steps: Place the compass at the given point (above or below the line) and adjust its radius to reach the line. Draw an arc that intersects the line at two points. Without changing the...

Construct a parallel line through a given point. AutoCAD Method Use the OFFSET command. Drag the distance from the point (NOD, CEN for example) and use PER to the original line.
