QuestionConstruct the following shapes using a ruler and protractor. a) b) c)
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
1. A ruler and protractor are available for construction.
2. The constructions are to be done on a flat surface, such as paper.
3. Precision is important, so measurements should be as accurate as possible.
STEP 2
1. Construct the square.
2. Construct the equilateral triangle.
3. Construct the rectangle.
STEP 3
Construct the square with each side measuring 6 cm.
1.1: Use the ruler to draw a line segment that is 6 cm long.
1.2: At point , use the protractor to measure a 90° angle and draw a line segment that is 6 cm long.
1.3: At point , use the protractor to measure a 90° angle and draw a line segment that is 6 cm long.
1.4: Connect points and to complete the square.
STEP 4
Construct the equilateral triangle with each side measuring 7 cm.
2.1: Use the ruler to draw a line segment that is 7 cm long.
2.2: At point , use the protractor to measure a 60° angle and draw a line segment.
2.3: At point , use the protractor to measure a 60° angle and draw a line segment.
2.4: Adjust the length of the lines from steps 2.2 and 2.3 so that they intersect at point , forming an equilateral triangle .
STEP 5
Construct the rectangle with one side measuring 4 cm and the other side measuring 9 cm.
3.1: Use the ruler to draw a line segment that is 4 cm long.
3.2: At point , use the protractor to measure a 90° angle and draw a line segment that is 9 cm long.
3.3: At point , use the protractor to measure a 90° angle and draw a line segment that is 9 cm long.
3.4: Connect points and to complete the rectangle.
