cs Quarter III –
Module 4
Basic Geometric Constructions
This Self- Learning Module (SLM) is prepared so that you, our dear learners, can
continue your studies and learn while at home. Activities, questions, directions,
exercises, and discussions are carefully stated for you to understand each lesson.
Each SLM is composed of different parts. Each part shall guide you step-by-step
as you discover and understand the lesson prepared for you.
Pre-tests are provided to measure your prior knowledge on lessons in each SLM.
This will tell you if you need to proceed on completing this module or if you need to
ask your facilitator or your teacher's assistance for better understanding of the
lesson. At the end of each module, you need to answer the post-test to self - check
your learning. Answer keys are provided for each activity and test. We trust that
you will be honest in using these.
Please use this module with care. Do not put unnecessary marks on any part of
this SLM. Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the exercises and tests. And
read the instructions carefully before performing each task.
If you have any questions in using this SLM or any difficulty in answering the
tasks in this module do not hesitate to consult your teacher or facilitator.
Thankyou

PERFORMANCE STANDARD
The learners will be able to create models of plane figures and formulate
and solve accurately authentic problems involving sides and angles of a
polygon.
LEARNING COMPETENCY:
The learner uses a compass and straightedge to bisect line segments
and angles and construct perpendiculars and parallels.
At the end of this module, you are expected to:

What’s In
Mathematics is not only about improving your computational skills.
Drawing and sketching figures are also vital skills, especially in Geometry.
These are essential in constructing objects, shapes, and figures.
What’s New
I know that you used a straightedge (ruler) in answering the previous
activity. Let us use straightedge more by answering the activity below.

Using any straightedge and the scale above the map, identify the
distance between the following islands on the Mathematics Map by
connecting the stars .
