Constructing the Circumcenter and Incenter of Triangles

• construct the circumcenter of an acute, obtuse, and right triangle
• construct the incenter of an acute, obtuse, and right triangle
• circumscribe a circle about each triangle
• inscribe a circle in each triangle

Q. Writing Equations #2 (24 pts) and NB Check #4 (40 pts) were today!

• if you were absent today, it is YOUR responsibility to see me BEFORE class begins to get this made up. Once class begins, your zero will remain a zero!

Constructions

• repeat last night's assignment another 3 times this weekend!
• yes, i want your paper folded exactly like i instructed last night!
• by the way, those of you who completed 2 sets like you weres supposed to last night earned yourself EXTRA CREDIT (8 points). those of you who didn't, blew an extra credit opportunity. humph! how do you like those apples?

Perpendicular Bisector Equations

Write the equation of the perpendicular bisector of a segment containing:

1. (3, 5) and (4, 7)
2. (8, 4) and (2, - 3)
3. (-3, 8) and (2, 5)
4. ( - 5, 7) and (-11, 4)
5. (7, 6) and (2, 1)
6. (- 11, 5) and (4, -5)
7. (4, 3) and (8, 9)
8. (9, 9) and ( - 3, 8)
9. (12, 5) and (3, 2)
10. (5, 7) and (1, 9)

Constructions

• fold your paper in half TWICE creating 4 boxes. (remember to number down your paper! 1 and 2 on the left side. 3 and 4 on the right side)

1. Duplicate a line segment.
2. Duplicate an acute angle.
3. Duplicate an obtuse angle.
4. Construct a pair of parallel lines using the rhombus method.
5. Construct a perpendicular through a point NOT on the line.
6. Construct a perpendicular bisector of a line segment.
7. Construct a perpendicular through a point ON the line.
8. Construct an angle bisector.

once you've completed 1-8 on the front and back side of your paper, fold another paper in half twice and REPEAT 1-8!
