Sketch, Draw, Construct draw When you ___________ an equilateral triangle, you should use you geometry tools for accuracy. You may use a protractor to measure angles and a ruler to measure the sides. When you ___________ an equilateral triangle, you freehand a triangle that looks like an equilateral triangle. No geometry tools needed. When you ___________ an equilateral triangle with a compass and straightedge, you don’t rely on measurements from a protractor or a ruler. This guarantees that you triangle is equilateral. sketch construct Serra - Discovering Geometry Chapter 3: Using Tools of Geometry

Construction 6: Angle Bisector • Draw a large angle on your paper and label it PQR. • With the point of the compass on Q, stretch out the compass as far as you like and make an arc across the entire angle. • Put the point of the compass on the first intersection and make an arc inside the angle. • Without changing the compass, put the point on the other intersection and make another arc inside the angle. You should now have an X. • Connect the vertex and the X with a ray. Mark the congruencies.
