How do you make square root spiral by paper folding and paper cutting?

First of all draw a line segment that is about 2 cm long between two points P0 and P1. At the one of the outer points, draw another line that is at an angle of 90 degrees from the first line segment. This will cause the new line segment to stand straight on the first segment. Draw another line segment between the not used endpoint of the new line segment, let's call it P2, and the not used endpoint of the first line segment. This will create a triangle. Now on the P2 endpoint, draw another line segment that is again at 90 degrees angle. Repeat the previous steps and you will have created a root spiral.


How do you get a perpendicular bisector on a line segment?

Set a compass to draw a circle with a radius that's more than half the length of the line segment but less than the whole length.Put the compass point at one end of the segment and draw an arc above the middle of the segment and another below the middle of the segment.Put the compass point at the other end of the segment and again draw arcs above and below the middle of the segment, intersecting the first two arcs.Draw a line connecting the point where the two arcs intersect above the segment and the point where they intersect below the segment.That's your perpendicular bisector.


You can draw a perpendicular bisector to a segment using paper-folding constructions?

true.


How do you find a segment bisector?

Adjust a compass so the distance between the point and the pencil is more than half of the length of the segment. With the point at one end of the segment draw an arc that intersects the segment. Without adjusting the compass, with the point at the other end of the segment draw an arc that intersects the first arc at two places. The line that includes those two intersecting points is the perpendicular bisector.


Does a line go forever?

A "line" does. A "line segment" does not. Most people interpret "line" to mean "line segment" (without realising it) and so would conclude that a line does not go on forever. A "line segment" is a line between two points, which is what you would draw if told to draw a "line" on a piece of paper.

How do you find midpoint of a segment?

Take a compass, extend it about 3/4 of the length of the segment. Then from one end of the segment, draw a 180 degree arc. From the other end draw another arc. Connect the points where the arcs intersect. Where the line intersects with the segment is the midpoint of the segment. That is how you bisect a segment to find the midpoint - geometrically.

A segment that connects the center of a circle to a point on the circle is called?

A segment is not connected to the centre of a circle, it is the area bounded by a Secant (chord) and an arc. Draw a circle, draw a radius (centre to edge). Draw another radius. Where the radii join the circle edje draw a line joining the two points. This is the secant. You should be able to see a triangle and and a half moon shape. The half moon shape is the segment. The segment and the triangle make up a sector.

How do you draw a line segment and name it CD?

Draw any finite line. Write C near one end; write D near the other end. You now have a line segment and have named it CD.
