1. Perpendicular Bisectors and Angle Bisectors
- Use of compass: center, radius, pin leg, and drawing leg
- To draw a circle
- To mark off or copy a line segment
- How to draw a perpendicular bisector of a line segment?
- Any point on the perpendicular bisector of a line segment is equidistant from the two end points of the segment.
2. Angle Bisectors
- A ray AZ divides <BAC into two equal angles, <BAZ and <CAZ. The ray is called the angle bisector of <ABC
- How to draw an angle bisector?
- Any point on the angle bisector of an angle is equidistant from the two sides of the angle.
3. Class work
- Construct/draw circles, triangles, angles, equal line segments
- construct /draw perpendicular bisectors of line segments
- construct/draw angle bisectors of angles
4. Classification of Triangles
- The number of equal sides in the triangle: scalene triangle – no equal sides; isosceles triangle – two equal sides; equilateral triangles – three equal sides
- The type of angles of the triangle: acute-angled triangle – all angles are acute; right-angled triangle – one of the angles is a right angle; obtuse-angled triangle – one of the angles is an obtuse angle
- Is an equilateral triangle also an isosceles triangle?
- Is it Possible to draw a triangle with more than one obtuse angle?
- Can a scalene triangle be an acute-angled, right-angled or obtuse-angled triangle?
- All the three angles in a scalene triangle are different size
- The angles opposite the equal sides of an isosceles triangle are equal
- All the three angles in an equilateral triangle are equal in size
5. Quadrilaterals
- A closed plane figure with four straight sides joined by four vertices is called a quadrilateral
- Vertices, diagonals
- Properties of special quadrilaterals
- Parallelogram: 2 pairs of parallel and equal opposite sides
- Rectangle: all angles are right angles
- Rhombus: all sides are equal, diagonals are perpendicular to each other
- Square: all sides are equal, all angles are right angles
- Trapezoid: 1 pair of parallel sides
