C. LESSON PROPER

Let’s start our discussion for today.

Based on your activity those are
instruments and terms that we should
learn, understand and apply.

Let us first define the following terms.

The following definitions of terms

are:

Bisector, Perpendicular Bisector,

Compass, and Straightedge.
So, based on our definitions of terms,
what do you think is our topic for
today’s lesson?

Yes, Joshua?

About Basic constructions ma’am.

Exactly!

Basic Geometric Constructions

In Geometry the word “construction”

means to draw geometric figures
accurately.

These constructions use a compass,

straightedge (i.e. ruler), and a pencil.
This is the “pure” form of geometric
construction; no computation is
involved. The imprints showed in the
ruler may not be utilize as
measurement.
Understand class?
Yes ma’am.
Using only the compass and
straightedge, we can perform the
basic constructions in geometry. We
use a straightedge to construct a line,
ray, or segment when two points are
given. We use a compass to construct
an arch (part of a circle) or a circle,
given a center point and a radius
length.

Kindly turn your module in lesson 3

the basic constructions.

Let us start with, Basic Geometric

Construction 1: Construct a segment
congruent to a given segment.

(Watch video clip tutorial for us to

better construct a segment congruent
to a given segment.)

Given: Line segment AB:

A B

Kindly read the step 1, Mark Jervin.

Step one: Use the straight edge to draw
a line and indicate a point X on the line

As you can see it is representation of

LINE and indicate a point X on the
line.

Step two: Fix compass opening to

match the length of AB.

Let us go back to our given, from our

given which is the line segment AB,
then using your compass match the
length of AB.
Now class we have step three. Please
read Jamaica.
Step three: Mark on the line the point Y
with distance AB from X.

From that length of AB using your

compass, let’s go back to our step 1
which you draw a line and indicate a
point X.

That is the three steps of constructing

a segment congruent to a given
segment. In Construction 1, we
construct line segment which is
congruent to AB. (Students tap the raise hand button.)
What is this line segment that is
congruent to AB?
XY ma’am.
Yes Rhaina?

Very good!
therefore,

construct: Line segment XY

congruent to AB.

Or we can also write it in

notation/symbol form as 𝑋𝑌̅̅̅̅ ≅ 𝐴𝐵
̅̅̅̅.
Yes ma’am.
Understand class?

Very good!

Let us proceed to Construction 2.

Basic Geometric Construction 2:
Construction of an angle
congruent to a given angle.

(Watch video clip tutorial for us to

better construct of an angle
congruent to a given angle.)

Given: ∠𝐴

Based on your knowledge in the

previous discussion, construct an
angle A on your notebook.

Kindly show your own construction

of angle A.

Very good class!

We have now the step 1 of

construction 2.

Step 1: Draw a ray with endpoint W.

Rays with a common endpoint,

extending in opposite directions and
forming a line.

Follow to that, using your compass

draw a circular arc (part of a circle)
with center at A and cutting the sides
of at points B and C, respectively.
using the figure given which is the
angle A. We use straightedge to draw
an angle A, then use compass to
draw a circular arc (part of a circle)
with center at A and cutting the of at
points B and C, respectively.

Is it clear class?
Yes ma’am.

What is the second step, Princess?

Step 2: Draw a similar arc using center
W and radius AB. Intersecting the ray
at X.

With this figure, Set the compass

opening to length BC. You should
measure the arc between the sides of
the original angle, then mark off this
measure on the arc with center W.

Let us move to the step 3.

Step 3: Using X as center and BC as

radius, draw an arc intersecting the
first arc at point Y.
Are you following the steps and
understand the figure class?
Yes ma’am.
For the final construction. Draw ray
⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝑊𝑌 to complete ∠𝑊 congruent to
∠𝐴.

Based on final construction. What

did you construct?
(The students tap the raise hand button.)

Yes, Rhaina?
Construction of an angle congruent to a given
angle.
Exactly!

Based on the figure construction #2.

Construct: Angle W congruent to

angle A.

How about its notation or symbol

form?

Yes Jamaica?

In notation form: ∠𝑊 ≅ ∠𝐴
Excellent!
Any clarification class?
None ma’am.
If none, we go to basic construction
3: Construction of angle bisector.

The bisector of an angle is the ray

through the vertex and interior of the
angle which divides the angle into
two angles of equal measures.

(Watch video clip tutorial for us to

better construct of angle bisector.)

Given: ∠𝐴

locate points B and C one on each

side of ∠𝐴 so that AB=AC. This can
be done by drawing an arc of a circle
with center at A.

This is the figure of our given angle

A.

do you follow the construction?

That is given of construction 3. Let’s

now do the Step 1.

Now class, I let you do the steps in

construction 3.

Are you ready class?

Yes ma’am.
Step 1: using C as center and any
radius r which is more than half of
BC, draw an arc of a circle in the (The students follow steps and construct the
interior of ∠𝐴. angle bisector.)

Step 2: Then using B as center,

construct an arc of the circle with the
same radius r and intersecting the arc
in the preceding step at point X.

And last step…

Step 3: Join A to the point where the

arc cross. Using your straightedge to
construct bisector of the given angle.

Kindly show or present your output

class? (The students show their output on the camera.)

Excellent!

As you observed now in the figure

that you constructed, it represents as
Ray ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝐴𝑋 is the bisector of ∠𝐵𝐴𝐶.

The midpoint of a line segment is the

point on the line segment that divides
it into two equal parts. This means
that the midpoint of the segment AB
is the point C on AB such that AC =
CB.

Therefore, you constructed: Ray 𝐴𝑋⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗

such that X is in the interior of
∠𝐵𝐴𝐶 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∠𝐵𝐴𝑋 = ∠𝑋𝐴𝐶.
Did you understand class?

Yes ma’am.

We are now done with three basic

constructions in geometry. What are
they class? 1. Construction of a segment congruent to a
given angle.

2. Construction of an angle congruent to a given

angle.

3. Construction of angle bisector.

Very good!

Do you have any clarification?

None ma’am.

Let’s now proceed to basic

construction 4.

Basic Geometric Construction 4:

Construction of the midpoint and
perpendicular bisector of a
segment.

Given: Segment AB

What is the geometric symbol of a

segment class?
Line bar ma’am.

Very good!

(Watch video clip tutorial for us to

better construct the midpoint and
perpendicular bisector of a segment.)

Now class, this is the figure of the

given segment AB.
let’s apply the steps in construction
4.

But before that always remember

that, the idea in the construction of
the perpendicular bisector is to locate
two points which are equidistant
from A and B. Since there is only
one line passing through any two
given points, the perpendicular
bisector can be drawn from these two
equidistant points.

Using your first construction,

segment AB, apply the step 1.
Step 1: Using center A and radius r
which is more than half of AB, draw
two arcs on both sides of AB.
What is the first step in constructing
of the midpoint and perpendicular
bisector of a segment?

Next, step two? May we hear you,

Joshua? Step 2: Using center B and radius r,
draw arcs crossing the two previously
drawn arcs at points P and Q.
Afterwards, Connect P and Q using a
straightedge forming Line PQ that
intersects AB at Point C

Did you still follow the steps class?

Yes ma’am.
Last step 3?
(The students tap the raise hand button.)
Yes, Jamaica?
Last, step 3: Line PQ is the
perpendicular bisector of AB and the
intersection of PQ with AB is the
midpoint of AB.

Any clarification class?

None ma’am.

Now, based on construction 4. We

can denote/describe that;

Construct: The midpoint C of PQ

and the perpendicular bisector of AB.

Did you understand and follow the

basic geometry construction 4?

Yes ma’am.

Very good class!

Let us move to basic construction 5.

Basic Geometric Construction 5:
Construction of a perpendicular to
a given line through a given point
on the line.

(Watch video clip tutorial for us to

better construct of a perpendicular to
a given line through a given point on
the line.)

Given: Line l and point P on l.

Now that you see the given figure,

let’s apply the steps.

Step 1: Using center P and any

radius, locate two points, X and Y,
on the circle which are on.

After that class, step 2: Using center

X and Y, draw a radius which is
more than half of XY, using compass
draw two arcs on both sides of XY
above P. Mark the intersection of the
arcs as L and N.

let’s add step 3.

Step 3: Connect L and N using a

straightedge forming Line LN that
intersects line l at Point P.

Step 4: The perpendicular bisector of

XY is the perpendicular to that
passes through P.

Through that figure, Since PX and

PY are equal, P is the midpoint of
XY. Hence the perpendicular
bisector of XY contains P and clearly
is perpendicular to l.

Therefore, the you constructed.

Line through P perpendicular to l.

Or in symbol form:

line through 𝑷 ⊥ l.

Do you follow class?

Yes ma’am.
Any clarification?
None ma’am.

So, class if we have perpendicular

from a point ON a line. We have also
Perpendicular from a point OFF a
line that is our basic construct 6.
Construction 6: To construct the
perpendicular to a given line through
a given point not on the line

What is the difference of

perpendicular from a point not on a
line and the perpendicular from a
point on a line?

Any idea class?

The point P of this figure is in the vertical line,
while the construction 6 is ‘point p touch the
horizontal line.

Exactly!

(Watch video clip tutorial for us to

better construct the perpendicular to
a given line through a given point
not on the line.)

Given: Line l and point P which is

not on l.

Now class, kindly construct your

own line. Of course, to construct
your own line l use your straightedge
then label it as line l. then point P
should be on the center but not lie on
the line l. Point P must be place at the
upper center of line l.

Now class, step 1: Using P as center

draw arcs of circle with big enough
radius to cross the line. Mark on the
two points (X and Y) crossed by the
circle.
(The teacher is helping students to
better construct the step 1.)

-Place your compass point on P and

swing an arc of any size that crosses
the line twice.

Place the compass point on one of

the two locations where the arc
crossed the line and make a small arc
below the line (on the side where P is
not located).

Now class, your construction is the

same from the figure that I presented
on the screen?

Yes ma’am.

Very good!

For the last step.

step 2: Using a straightedge, connect
the intersection of the two small arcs
to point P. Therefore, the
perpendicular bisector of XY passes
through P and is the line we want.

Let’s observe your construction,

kindly show it to the class.
(The students show their construction.)

Good job!

On that output, you constructed

Line through P perpendicular to l.

Or in symbol form, class?

any idea?
(Students tap their raise hand button.)
Yes Rhiella?

Line through 𝑃 ⊥ l.
Exactly!

Did you follow the two steps of

constructing the perpendicular to a
given line through a given point not
on the line?

Yes ma’am.

That’s good to hear.

For our last basic geometry

construction. We have construction
7.

Basic Geometric Construction 7:

Construct a parallel to a given line
through a point, not on that line.

In constructing a parallel to a given

line through a point, not on that line.
Let us define parallel for us to easily
construct the basic geometry
construction 7.

What is a parallel lines class? (The students tap the raise hand button.)

Yes, Simon?
A parallel line are lines in the same plane that do
not intersect.
Exactly!
So we are going to construct a
parallel to a given line through a
point, not on that line. At the end of
the following steps, the figure must
have parallel lines that do not
intersect.

Are you ready for the last basic

geometry construction?
Yes ma’am.
(Watch video clip tutorial for us to
better construct a line parallel to a
given line and through a point not on
the given line.)

Given: Line l and point P not on l.

Through the straightedge class

construct a line and label it as line l
P
at the right arrow. Then put point P
not on the line.

That is our given in construction 7.

Step 1: Draw points Q and R on line

l. Draw line through P that meets the
⃡⃗⃗⃗⃗ . Draw an arc
point Q to become 𝑃𝑄
with the compass point at Q so it
crosses line QP and line QR.

Step 1:
Step 2: Copy angle PQR on line QP.
Be sure the two angles are
corresponding. Label the new angle
TPS. Draw line PS.
 Step 2:

Are you done with step 2?

Yes ma’am.

Well, done class!

Since two corresponding angles are

equal (both acute angles), the lines
are parallel.

Therefore, we construct parallel line

through point not on that line.

Class what is the names of line that is

parallel to each other?

Yes, Zaskhiya?

Line PS and line QR.

Very good!

What is the symbol of a parallel line

class?

Yes Joriz Laarni?

A pair of vertically oriented straight lines.
Exactly!

Where: ⃡⃗⃗⃗ ⃡⃗⃗⃗⃗

𝑃𝑆 ∥ 𝑄𝑅

point E and draw an
arc across both
lines. Keep the
compass legs the
same distance apart
and repeat the arc
with the compasses’
sharp point on point
U. Scribe another
arc that look similar
to the one you just
draw.
4. Lift the compass
and do not worry
about the distance
between the legs.
You will put the
 compasses’ sharp

intersection of the
first arc you drew
and the transverse.
Open or close the
compass leg to
match the distance
from that
intersection to the
arc’s other
intersection, where
it crosses the
horizontal line LD.
5. Lift the compass, be
careful to keep the
legs the same
distance apart. Put
the point down on
the intersection of
the second arc and
the transverse, point
U. Swing the pencil
leg of the compass
to make a tiny mark
through that second
arc. Where you
swing the compass
and passed through
the second drawn
arc, you have a new
point of intersection.
Label that point as
point M.
6. Use your
straightedge to
construct a line that
passes through point
U and point M. Put
endpoints on that
line and label it as
