What are some problems using a drawing program and not a compass and straight egde?
You might not understand angles and shapes as well with a drawing program, even though it requires a little bit more effort with a compass and straightedge. You would just create shapes without understanding how they were made or what the postulates and theorems and stuff mean. To sum it up, each have their own problems and advantages, but using a compass and a straightedge lets you see deeper into the way shapes and angles work :) ugh I hate using a compass and straightedge in geometry lol :)>
What is a process you would use to create the perpendicular bisector to a segment AB using only an unmarked straightedge and an unmarked compass?
Open the compass to a width greater than half the length of AB.Place the compass point at A.Draw arcs above and below the line AB.Move the compass point to B WITHOUT changing the compass setting.Draw arcs above and below AB to intersect them at X and Y.Join XY.XY is the perpendicular bisector of AB.7. Celebrate the successful completion of the task!
Can a segment bisector create two congruent segments?
By definition, a segment bisector always created two congruent segments.
How do you bisect an angle using a ruler or double straightedge?
create a 'v' parralel to the 'v' of your angle using the width of your ruler, join the two apexes and continue the line to biscect the angle.
How many sides does a polygon have when only a compass and straight edge are used?
A compass and straight edge are used to create a polygon but do not limit the number of sides of the polygon created. You have to decide that separately, then use the compass and straight edge to make what you decide on.
