Constructions and 2D shapes

Line segment bisector and angle bisector

Construct the line segment’s perpendicular bisector
 Construct the angle bisector

 Steps:
. Place the compass at the vertex of the angle.
. Adjust the compass and keep it the same till the end.
. Draw arcs on both sides of the angle.
. Keeping the same compass width, draw arcs from the points of
intersection with the sides of the angle.
. Place a ruler where the arcs cross, and draw the line segment.

Lesson 1: Simple
loci
Starter:
1.
• Construct a triangle with sides 7, 3 and 5 cm.
• Construct the angle bisector for every three sides.
• Use the point of intersection and draw a circle
(Circumcircle of the triangle).

2.
• Construct the same triangle again.
• Construct the perpendicular bisector for each of the three sides.
• Use the point of intersection and draw a circle
(Incircle of a triangle).
The path of an object as it moves is called its locus.

• A locus is the set of all points (usually forming a curve or

surface) satisfying some condition. 
The locus can be
• an arc (part of a curve)
• A circle
• A straight line (equidistant from two points, for example)
• A mixture of all.

 Lesson 2. Scale drawings Challenge
Starter:
Draw two more isosceles triangles with
the area of 9 cm squared
Each vertex (corner) must be on the point of a square grid.
1) 30 ____ 5

2) If 1 square represents 5 cm,

how many squares represent 30
cm?

3) If 1 square represents 4 m,
how many squares represent
48 m?

4) What is half of 15?

1) 30 ____
6 5

2) If 1 square represents 5 cm, how many squares

represent 30 cm? 6 squares

3) If 1 square represents 4 m, how many squares

represent 48 m? 12 squares

4) What is half of 15?

7.5
Each triangle can be positioned in 12 ways, so a total of 36 isosceles triangles
with area 9 and a vertex at (20,20) can be drawn on a coordinate grid.
Scale drawings show a real object with accurate sizes reduced or enlarged by a certain
amount: scale.

The sizes must be in the same proportion.

Here is a picture of a tree.
Have a think

Which of these trees is a scale drawing of the tree?

How do you know?

 A square has side lengths of 12 cm.

Scott has drawn a scale diagram of the shape in which

each square in the grid represents 2 cm.

 Use squared paper to draw other scale diagrams of a
square with side lengths of 12 cm using the given scales:
• Each square represents 3 cm
• Each square represents 12 cm

Have a think

Each square represents ___ cm so 12 cm is represented by

12 ___ ___ squares.
