What is a perpendicular bisector?

1/19

A perpendicular bisector is a line that divides another line segment into two equal parts at a right angle (90°).

2/19

How do you construct a perpendicular bisector?

2/19

Draw arcs from both endpoints. The intersection points form the line where the bisector is drawn.

4/19

What is triangle congruence?

4/19

Triangles are congruent if their corresponding sides and angles are equal.

5/19

How do you construct a 90° angle?

5/19

Use a perpendicular bisector; any point on it is 90° to the line segment.

6/19

How can you create a 45° angle?

6/19

Construct a 90° angle and then bisect it.

7/19

What are the tools used for geometric constructions?

7/19

An unmarked ruler and a compass are used for all constructions.

8/19

What defines a regular polygon?

8/19

A regular polygon has all sides and angles equal.

9/19

How is a regular hexagon constructed?

9/19

Join 6 equilateral triangles to form a hexagon.

10/19

What are the steps to bisect an angle?

10/19

Mark two points, draw arcs, and connect their intersection for the bisector.

11/19

What is tiling?

11/19

Tiling is covering a surface with shapes without gaps or overlaps.

12/19

What is a condition for tiling a grid with 2x1 tiles?

12/19

The total number of squares must be even for complete coverage.

13/19

What is a tangram?

13/19

A tangram is a puzzle made from a square that is divided into 7 pieces.

14/19

Can a 4x6 grid be tiled with 2x1 tiles?

14/19

Yes, it can be tiled in various configurations.

15/19

Give an example of a non-tileable region.

15/19

A 5x7 grid cannot be tiled with 2x1 tiles.

16/19

How do you copy an angle using a compass?

16/19

Draw an arc and measure its segments to create a congruent angle.

17/19

How do you construct a parallel line?

17/19

Use angle copying to ensure the same corresponding angles as the original line.

18/19

How is a six-pointed star constructed?

18/19

By overlapping two equilateral triangles.

19/19

Which shapes can tile the entire plane?

19/19

Squares, equilateral triangles, and regular hexagons can tile the entire plane.
