21 Circumscribing a triangle
© T Madas

22 Circumscribing a triangle
The 3 perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a triangle are concurrent. The point they meet is called the Circumcentre. The Circumcentre has the property of being equidistant from all three vertices of the triangle. For this construction: We need the intersection of two perpendicular bisectors (since all three all concurrent). © T Madas

23 Inscribing a triangle in a circle

24 Inscribing a triangle in a circle
The 3 angle bisectors of a triangle are concurrent. The point they meet is called the Incentre. The Incentre has the property of being equidistant from all three sides of the triangle. For this construction: We need the intersection of two angle bisectors (since all three all concurrent). © T Madas

25 Dividing a line into a given number of equal segments © T Madas

26 Dividing a line into a given number of equal segments
Suppose we want to divide AB into 3 equal segments A B © T Madas

27 The midpoint of a line segment
Construct: The midpoint of a line segment The perpendicular bisector of a line segment The angle bisector of an acute angle The angle bisector of an obtuse angle An equilateral triangle A triangle with sides: 3 cm, 4 cm and 6 cm A 45° angle A 60° angle A 120° angle The perpendicular to a line segment through a given point on the line segment The perpendicular to a line segment through a given point outside the line segment A parallel line to a line segment which passes through a point outside the line segment © T Madas

32 Constructing Regular Pentagons
© T Madas

33 Constructing a Regular Pentagon
Start with the circumscribing circle Draw a diameter Draw the perpendicular bisector of that diameter Mark its intersection with the circle Bisect the radius as shown Draw arc as shown and mark its intersection with the diameter This is the required side length for a regular pentagon, which is circumscribed by the circle © T Madas

34 Constructing Regular Octagons
© T Madas

35 Constructing a Regular Octagon

36 Constructing Regular Decagons
© T Madas

37 Constructing a Regular Decagon
To construct a decagon you need a regular pentagon first Bisect one of the sides of the pentagon Use the chord of the new arc produced to construct a regular decagon You can use this idea to constuct a dodecagon from a hexagon A 16 – sided regular polygon using an octagon An eicosagon from a decagon and so on © T Madas
