Required Additional Exercises
Read and study Euclid's constructions of: an equilateral triangle, the bisection of an angle, the
bisection of a straight line segment, and the construction of a perpendicular thru a given point.
They all may be found in the article http://mypages.iit.edu/~maslanka/24Prop.pdf
Then solve the following two construction problems in the style of Euclid.
1. At a given point on a given line describe a compass/straight edge construction of an angle
equal to a given angle.
Also, provide a proof that your construction is valid by using properties of congruent
triangles.
2. On a given line segment describe a compass/straight edge construction of a perpendicular
bisector.
Then provide a proof that your construction is valid by using properties of congruent
triangles.
