5.5 Geometric Construction Using


Compasses and a Straight Edge
Name: _________________________ Class: ___________ Non-foundation

Objectives: Learn how to use compasses and a straight edge to


1. copy an angle and construct parallel lines,
2. construct the angle bisector of a given angle,
3. construct perpendicular lines and the special angles (90°, 60°, 45° and 30°),
4. construct the perpendicular bisector of a given line segment,
5. construct some special regular polygons.

(In this worksheet, you are allowed to use compasses and a straight edge only. You are not required
to describe the construction method, but you should retain all the construction lines.)
