Geometric Constructions Test questions
n answers
Construction - correct answer ✔✔To draw a shape, line or angle accurately using a compass and
straightedge (ruler).
Perpendicular Bisector - correct answer ✔✔A segment, line, or ray that bisects the segment at a 90
degree angle.
Angle Bisector - correct answer ✔✔Line or ray that divides an angle into two congruent angles.
Median - correct answer ✔✔Line segment joining a vertex to the midpoint of the opposing side.
Midsegment - correct answer ✔✔Segment connecting the midpoints of two sides of a triangle.
Altitude - correct answer ✔✔Line segment through a vertex and perpendicular to a line containing the
base.
Point of Concurrency - correct answer ✔✔When a set of lines has a point in common, they are
considered concurrent.
Incenter - correct answer ✔✔The point of concurrency for the three angle bisectors in a triangle.
Circumcenter - correct answer ✔✔Point of concurrency for the three perpendicular bisectors of a
triangle.
Orthocenter - correct answer ✔✔The point of concurrency where all three altitudes of the triangle
intersect.
