Geometry Exam 01.02 Basic
Constructions with verified answers
David is performing the following construction. Based on the markings that are present, what
construction is he performing?
Bisecting an angle
Bisecting a line segment
Copying an angle
Copying a line segment - correct answer ✔✔Bisecting an angle
When bisecting segments and angles, which step is the same?
Draw a ray with one endpoint.
Mark the intersection points of the arcs.
Draw a ray from the vertex to another point.
Place the compass on the endpoint of the segment. - correct answer ✔✔Mark the intersection points of
the arcs.
Which of the following demonstrates the correct first step in bisecting an angle?
Create a point on the outside of the angle's rays.
Draw a line that intersects one of the angle's rays.
Place the compass on the vertex of the angle.
Swing an arc that intersects one of the angle's rays. - correct answer ✔✔Place the compass on the vertex
of the angle.
Max is bisecting a segment. First, he places the compass on one endpoint and opens it to a width larger
than half of the segment. Then, he swings an arc on either side of the segment. What is his next step?
Draw a point that is not on the segment.
Keep the compass the same width, and place it on the other endpoint.
Draw a ray from one endpoint of the segment.
