Warm-Up Let’s use a compass to draw a face. Draw a large circle. Draw two smaller circles for eyes. Use a ruler to draw a pointed nose. Draw a portion of a circle for a mouth. How did you do?

Constructing Segments and Angles EQ: How do we construct segments and angles? We will write and discuss steps about how to use a compass to construct segments and angles.

Definitions A compass is used to measure the distance between two points. A circle is the set of points equidistant to a point. Compasses can be used to copy segments and angles. EQ: How do we construct segments and angles? We will write and discuss steps about how to use a compass to construct segments and angles.

How to copy a segment Copy a segment by following these steps: Draw a segment longer than the original segment. Measure the original segment with your compass by placing the endpoints of the compass on the endpoints of the original segment. Using the measurement, place the compass on one endpoint of the longer segment and mark the measurement. EQ: How do we construct segments and angles? We will write and discuss steps about how to use a compass to construct segments and angles.
