Bell Work 9/13/11 1) Find the midpoint of segment PQ if P(1, -3) and Q(3, 7). 2) Find the other endpoint if one endpoint is at (-2, -4) and the midpoint is at (-3, 2). 3) B is the midpoint of AC, find x and the length of each segment.

Outcomes I will be able to: 1) Define and Use new vocabulary: midpoint, bisector, segment bisector, construction, Midpoint Formula and angle bisector. 2) Bisect a segment/angle by measuring, by folding, and by algebraic reasoning. 3) Use the Midpoint Formula to calculate segment midpoints on a coordinate plane. 4) Solve for missing values and angle measures using angle identifications.

Constructions The compass, like the straight edge, has been a useful geometry tool for thousands of years. The ancient Egyptians used a compass to mark off distances. During the Golden Age of Greece, Greek mathematicians made a game of geometric constructions. In his 13 volume work Elements, Euclid ( BC) established the basic rules for constructions using only a compass and straight edge. He proposed definitions and constructions about points, lines, angles, surfaces and solids. He also showed why the constructions were correct with deductive reasoning. You will learn many of these constructions using the same tools.

School of Athens by Raphael

School of Athens Euclid is represented here teaching while a student is showing a geometric construction to his fellow mathematicians. Notice the globes being held. This was how they studied the heavens. They thought the earth was the center and the heavens a sphere around them.

Constructions Compass and a straight edge only This game of trying to draw figures with only these two tools dates back to the classical Greeks. Constructions develop deductive reasoning while giving insight into geometry relationships.

Bisecting a Segment Draw a segment Set compass to be more than the midpoint Strike an arc above and below the segment from each endpoint. DON’T change the compass setting. Connect the points where the arcs intersect. You have created a perpendicular bisector of the segment.

Bisecting an Angle Draw an Angle Set compass on the vertex and strike an arc that touches both sides of the angle. Move the compass to the point made by the first arc touching the side. Strike an arc between the sides but beyond the first arc. DON’T change the compass setting. Repeat with compass on other side of angle. Connect the point where the arcs intersect to the vertex of your angle. You have created a ray that is an angle bisector.

Write it out Questions How can we verify that our segment is REALLY bisected? Describe two things you could do. How can we verify that our angle is REALLY bisected? Describe two things you could do. Brainstorm: what else do you think you could draw with the rules of construction to challenge a fellow mathematician with? Example: Construct a perfect square.
