Sketching
triangles with specific side measurements
Objective: Sketch a triangle with the following sides: AB= 5 cm, BC=5 cm |
1.- Draw a line segment of 5 cm.
|
|
2.- Open the compass 6
cm long.
- Place the tip of the compass at point B, and draw an arc as shown in the second figure in this step.
|
|
3.- Open the compass 3 cm
long.
- Place the tip of the compass at point A and make an arc as shown in the second figure in step 3. - This arc has to intersect the previous arc.
|
|
4.- Label the
