45-45-90 Triangle Activity

1. Draw the line PQ, to be one of the
legs of the triangle.
2. Set the compass on P and the
with to just over halpf of Q.
3. From P and Q, draw intersecting
arcs above and below PQ.
4. Draw a straight line between the
two arcs.
5. From the midpoint of PQ, set the
compass width to P.
6. Draw an arc across the
perpendicular creating point C.
7. Draw the line PR through C.
