Is it possible to construct an equilateral triangle using only a straightedge and a compass?
True
You can draw a regular hexagon using only a straightedge and compass by first building an equilateral triangle?
trueee
How do you divide a line into 3 equal parts using only a straight edge and a compass?
1. A given length of line is drawn from points A to B. 2. A compass is used to measure the line and construct an equalateral triangle using line A to B as the base side of the triangle. 3. Use the compass to bisect the two adjacent ventexs at the base of the triangle extending these lines till they intersect finding the center, point O, of the triangle. 4.Draw the solution finding line parallel to A to B through point O. Extend this line to intersect with the sides of the triangle at points C and D. 5. One third of line A to B is equal to line section A to C and line section B to D.
How do you draw 45 degree angle using ruler and compass?
Construct 2 perpendicular lines which will meet at 90 degrees then by bisecting this angle wll give a 45 degree angle
How you would construct a regular hexagon using a compass?
First draw a circle. Keeping the compass at the same angle; from any point on the circle's edge, draw another arc that intersects the circle's edge and (should) go through the centre as well. Repeat these arcs until you get back to the start. Using a ruler, connect the six intersect points on the edge of the circle and erase the construction lines.
