Geometric Constructions In this lesson, you learned how a compass and straightedge are used to create constructions related to circles. In this assignment, you will use those tools to complete those constructions on your own. As you complete the assignment, keep this question in mind: How do you perform constructions related to circles? Directions Complete each of the following constructions, reading the directions carefully as you go. Be sure to show all work and insert an image of each construction. …

Geometric Constructions Geometric constructions date back thousands of years to when Euclid, aGreek mathematician known as the “Father of Geometry,” wrote the book Elements. In Elements, Euclid formulated the five postulates that form the base for Euclidean geometry. To create all the figures and diagrams, Euclid used construction techniques extensively. A compass and straightedge are used to create constructions. A compass is used to draw circles or arcs and a straightedge is used to draw straight lines. As you complete …
