C. LESSON PROPER

Let’s start our discussion for today.

Based on your activity those are
instruments and terms that we should
learn, understand and apply.

Let us first define the following

terms.

The following definitions of terms

are:

Bisector, Perpendicular Bisector,

Compass, and Straightedge.
 About Basic constructions ma’am.

So, based on our definitions of terms,

what do you think is our topic for
today’s lesson?

Yes, Joshua?

Exactly!

Basic Geometric Constructions

In Geometry the word “construction”

means to draw geometric figures Yes ma’am.
accurately.

These constructions use a compass,

straightedge (i.e. ruler), and a pencil.
This is the “pure” form of geometric
construction; no computation is
involved. The imprints showed in the
ruler may not be utilize as
measurement.
Understand class?

Using only the compass and

straightedge, we can perform the
basic constructions in geometry. We
use a straightedge to construct a line,
ray, or segment when two points are
given. We use a compass to construct
an arch (part of a circle) or a circle,
given a center point and a radius
length.

Let us start with, Basic Geometric
Construction 1: Construct a
segment congruent to a given
segment.

match the length of AB.

Let us go back to our given, from our

given which is the line segment AB,
then using your compass match the
length of AB.
 (Students tap the raise hand button.)

XY ma’am.
Now class we have step three. Please
read Jamaica.

From that length of AB using your

compass, let’s go back to our step 1
which you draw a line and indicate a
point X.

Yes ma’am.

That is the three steps of constructing

a segment congruent to a given
segment. In Construction 1, we
construct line segment which is
congruent to AB.
What is this line segment that is
congruent to AB?

Yes Rhaina?

Very good!
therefore,

construct: Line segment XY

congruent to AB.

Or we can also write it in

notation/symbol form as XY ≅ AB.

Understand class?
Very good!

Let us proceed to Construction 2.

Basic Geometric Construction 2:

Construction of an angle
congruent to a given angle.

(Watch video clip tutorial for us to

congruent to a given angle.)

Given: ∠ A

Based on your knowledge in the

previous discussion, construct an
angle A on your notebook.

Kindly show your own construction

angle A. We use straightedge to draw
an angle A, then use compass to
draw a circular arc (part of a circle)
with center at A and cutting the of at
points B and C, respectively.

Is it clear class?

What is the second step, Princess?

With this

Let us move to the step 3.

Step 3: Using X as center and BC as

radius, draw an arc intersecting the
first arc at point Y. (The students tap the raise hand button.)
 Construction of an angle congruent to a given
angle.

Are you following the steps and

The bisector of an angle is the ray

through the vertex and interior of the
angle which divides the angle into
two angles of equal measures.

That is given of construction 3. Let’s

now do the Step 1.

Now class, I let you do the steps in

construction 3.

Are you ready class?

Step 1: using C as center and any

radius r which is more than half of (The students show their output on the

Step 2: Then using B as center,
construct an arc of the circle with the
same radius r and intersecting the arc
in the preceding step at point X.

And last step…

Step 3: Join A to the point where the

arc cross. Using your straightedge to
construct bisector of the given angle.

3. Construction of angle bisector.
The midpoint of a line segment is the
point on the line segment that divides
it into two equal parts. This means
that the midpoint of the segment AB
is the point C on AB such that AC =
CB. None ma’am.

Therefore, you constructed: Ray ⃗ AX

such that X is in the interior of
∠ BAC∧∠ BAX =∠ XAC .

Did you understand class?

We are now done with three basic
constructions in geometry. What are
they class?
Line bar ma’am.

Very good!

Do you have any clarification?

Let’s now proceed to basic

construction 4.

Basic Geometric Construction 4:

Construction of the midpoint and
perpendicular bisector of a
segment.

Given: Segment AB

What is the geometric symbol of a

segment class?

Very good!

(Watch video clip tutorial for us to

better construct the midpoint and Step 1: Using center A and radius r

the perpendicular bisector is to locate
two points which are equidistant
from A and B. Since there is only
one line passing through any two
given points, the perpendicular
bisector can be drawn from these two
equidistant points.

Using your first construction,

segment AB, apply the step 1.

What is the first step in constructing

of the midpoint and perpendicular
bisector of a segment?
Yes ma’am.

Afterwards, Connect P and Q using a

straightedge forming Line PQ that
intersects AB at Point C
 Yes ma’am.

Did you still follow the steps class?

Last step 3?

Yes, Jamaica?

Any clarification class?

Now, based on construction 4. We

can denote/describe that;

Construct: The midpoint C of PQ

and the perpendicular bisector of AB.

Did you understand and follow the

basic geometry construction 4?

Very good class!

Let us move to basic construction 5.

Basic Geometric Construction 5:
Construction of a perpendicular to
a given line through a given point
on the line.

(Watch video clip tutorial for us to

better construct of a perpendicular
to a given line through a given point
on the line.)
Given: Line l and point P on l.

Now that you see the given figure,

let’s apply the steps.

Step 1: Using center P and any

radius, locate two points, X and Y,
on the circle which are on.

After that class, step 2: Using center

X and Y, draw a radius which is
more than half of XY, using compass
draw two arcs on both sides of XY
above P. Mark the intersection of the
arcs as L and N.

let’s add step 3.

Step 3: Connect L and N using a
straightedge forming Line LN that
intersects line l at Point P.
Yes ma’am.

None ma’am.

Step 4: The perpendicular bisector of

XY is the perpendicular to that
passes through P.
Through that figure, Since PX and
PY are equal, P is the midpoint of
XY. Hence the perpendicular
bisector of XY contains P and clearly
is perpendicular to l.
The point P of this figure is in the vertical line,
Therefore, the you constructed. while the construction 6 is ‘point p touch the
horizontal line.
Line through P perpendicular to l.

Or in symbol form:

line through P ⊥ l.

Do you follow class?

Any clarification?

So, class if we have perpendicular

from a point ON a line. We have also
Perpendicular from a point OFF a
line that is our basic construct 6.

Construction 6: To construct the

perpendicular to a given line through
a given point not on the line

What is the difference of

perpendicular from a point not on a
line and the perpendicular from a
point on a line?

Any idea class?

Exactly!

(Watch video clip tutorial for us to

better construct the perpendicular to
a given line through a given point
not on the line.)

Given: Line l and point P which is

not on l.

Now class, kindly construct your

own line. Of course, to construct
your own line l use your straightedge
then label it as line l. then point P Yes ma’am.
should be on the center but not lie on
the line l. Point P must be place at
the upper center of line l.

Now class, step 1: Using P as center

draw arcs of circle with big enough
radius to cross the line. Mark on the
two points (X and Y) crossed by the
circle.

(The teacher is helping students to

better construct the step 1.)

-Place your compass point on P and

swing an arc of any size that crosses
the line twice.
(The students show their construction.)
Place the compass point on one of
the two locations where the arc
crossed the line and make a small arc
below the line (on the side where P is
not located).

Now class, your construction is the

same from the figure that I presented (Students tap their raise hand button.)
on the screen?

Line through P ⊥l.

Very good!

For the last step.

step 2: Using a straightedge, connect Yes ma’am.
the intersection of the two small arcs
to point P. Therefore, the
perpendicular bisector of XY passes
through P and is the line we want.

Let’s observe your construction,

kindly show it to the class.

Good job!

On that output, you constructed (The students tap the raise hand button.)

Line through P perpendicular to l.

Or in symbol form, class?

any idea?
A parallel line are lines in the same plane that
do not intersect.
Yes Rhiella?

Exactly!

Did you follow the two steps of

constructing the perpendicular to a
given line through a given point not
on the line?

That’s good to hear. Yes ma’am.

None ma’am.

Are you done with step 2?

Well, done class!

Since two corresponding angles are

equal (both acute angles), the lines
are parallel.

Therefore, we construct parallel line

your line, some clay to represent a line point not on the
distance away (like LD. line.
3 inches) and label it
as point U.
2. Using the
straightedge,
construct a
transverse, a line
intersecting your
original line and
going through your
point above the line.
Label the
intersection of your
transverse and your
original line as point
E.
3. With the compasses’
width set about half
the distance between
U and E, place the
point E and draw an
arc across both
lines. Keep the
compass legs the
same distance apart
and repeat the arc
 with the compasses’
sharp point on point
U. Scribe another
arc that look similar
to the one you just
draw.
4. Lift the compass and
do not worry about
the distance between
the legs. You will
put the compasses’
sharp point on the
intersection of the
first arc you drew
and the transverse.
Open or close the
compass leg to
match the distance
from that
intersection to the
arc’s other
intersection, where
it crosses the
horizontal line LD.
5. Lift the compass, be
careful to keep the
legs the same
distance apart. Put
the point down on
the intersection of
the second arc and
the transverse, point
U. Swing the pencil
leg of the compass
to make a tiny mark
through that second
arc. Where you
swing the compass
and passed through
the second drawn
arc, you have a new
point of intersection.
Label that point as
point M.
6. Use your
straightedge to
 construct a line that
passes through point
U and point M. Put
endpoints on that
line and label it as
point J on the left
and point B on the
right.
