  1. 1. Construct the bisector of an angle. • Draw an Acute AOB. • Using the vertex O as centre draw an arc to meet the arms of the angle at X and Y. • Using X as centre and the same radius draw a new arc. • Using Y as centre and the same radius draw an overlapping arc. • Mark the point where the arcs meet. • The bisector is the line from O to this point.

  2. 2. Construct the perpendicular bisector of a line segment • Draw the line segment • Using A as centre and a radius greater than half |AB| draw an arc. • Using B as centre and the same radius draw another arc. • Draw a line through the points where the arcs cross.

  3. Line perpendicular to a given line l, passing through a given point not on l. • Draw the line l. • Mark off a point P which is not on l. ( P can be above or below l ) • Using P as centre and the same radius draw two arcs to cut l at R and S. • Using R as centre draw an arc on the opposite side of l to P. • Using S as centre and the same radius draw another arc. • Mark of the point where these arcs meet. Labelled here as T. • Join T to P. P l S R T Miss D Brennan 6th year Constructions

  4. Line perpendicular to a given line l, passing through a given point on l. • Draw the line l. • Mark off a point P which on l. • Using P as centre and the same radius draw two arcs to cut l at A and B. • Double the size of your radius • Using A as centre draw an arc on any side of l. • Using B as centre and the same radius draw another arc on the same side of l. • Mark of the point where these arcs meet. Labelled here as C. • Join C to P and extend. P l A B C Miss D Brennan 6th year Constructions

  5. 5. Line parallel to a given line, through given point. (Set Square Method) • Draw the line l. • Mark off a point P which is not on l. ( P can be above or below l ) • Draw a perpendicular line from P on to l. • Slide the Set Square from the line l up to the point P . • Draw a line from P along the base of the Set Square and extend and label as k.

  6. 5. Line parallel to a given line, through given point • Draw a line l. • Mark off a point P which is not on l. ( P can be above or below l ) • Draw a line through P to cut the line l at any angle. Label the intersection A • Using A as centre and a radius less than |AP| draw an arc. Add labels C and B • Using P as centre and the same radius draw another arc to cut AP at R. • Use the compass to measure the arc at CB. • Using this as the radius and R as centre draw and arc to cut the outer arc at E. • Draw a line through P and E and label as k.

  7. 6. Divide the line segment [AB] into three equal parts • Draw the line segment [AB]. • Through A draw a line at an acute angle to [AB]. • On this line use circle arcs of the same radius to mark off three segments of equal length [AR], [RS] and [ST]. • Join T to B. • Through S and R draw line segments parallel to [TB] to meet [AB] at D and C. • Now |AC|=|CD|=|DB| A C D B R S T Miss D Brennan 6th year Constructions

  8. 8. Line segment of a given length on a given ray. • Draw a line segment |AB| of required length.
