How do you draw a line segment of root 12cm?
It is easiest to draw it using two right angled triangles.Draw a line AB that is 2 units long. From B, draw BC which is perpendicular to AB and 2 units long. Join AC. From C, draw CD which is perpendicular to AC (clockwise if BC is clockwise from AB, or anticlockwise if BC is anticlockwise) and make CD 2 uinits long. Then AD is a line segment which is sqrt(12) units long.
Joaquin is constructing the perpendicular bisector of line AB. What should be his first step?
Place the point if the compass on point B and draw an arc across AB.
What is the first step in the construction of a line perpendicular to AB and passing through an external point M?
Draw a straight line and with compass mark off two joined arcs above and below the line and then join the arcs together which will produce a perpendicular line.
What does it mean for something to be perpendicular?
For two items (Planes, lines, line segments, ect.) to be perpendicular that means that they meet at a 90 degree angle. Perpendicularity is denoted by the ⊥ symbol. For example line AB ⊥ line CD would mean that the line AB would be perpendicular to the line CD.
If line AB contains the points 4 19 and -3 5 what is the slope of a line perpendicular to AB?
-1/2 or -0.50
What is a perpendicular bisector of a line segment?
The perpendicular bisector of a line segment AB is the straight line perpendicular to AB through the midpoint of AB.
What is the answer for construct a line through X parallel to AB in geometric constructions?
answerDraw two lines of equal lengths perpendicular to AB on the same side of AB and extend the line formed by joining the two end points of the two perpendicular lines which does not line on the line AB.

What is another word for perpendicular?
Line AB is perpendicular to BC. you can say this like; Line AB is at a right angle to BC
Can you draw a label line ab using a straightedge?
Draw and label line Ab
What is a characteristic of a perpendicular bisector?
Given a straight line joining the points A and B, the perpendicular bisector is a straight line that passes through the mid-point of AB and is perpendicular to AB.
Slope of a line AB is 4 what is the slope of CD if CD is perpendicular to AB?
Slope of perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal. So it is -1/4
What is the first step in the construction of a line perpendicular to AB and passing through an external point M?
Draw a straight line and with compass mark off two joined arcs above and below the line and then join the arcs together which will produce a perpendicular line.
The distance from a point C to the line AB is the length of the segment from C to AB?
perpendicular
How do you draw a triangle with an area of 5 square units?
== == 1) Draw a line segment AB of 5 units 2) Draw the perpendicular bisector CD of AB such that Cd meerts AB at C. 3) Mark off CE = 2 units on CD 4) Draw the straight line segments AE & BE. ABE is your triangle. Its base (AB) = 5 and height (CE) = 2, so its area = [base x ht] / 2 = 5 sq units
