Question

#1. When constructing inscribed polygons and parallel lines, how are the steps similar? A protractor and ruler are used to take accurate measurements. /A compass is used to draw arcs. /Four right angles are created./ There are no similarities. #2. When constructing parallel lines with a compass and straightedge, how should you start the construction?
Measure the length of the original line and make an arc./ Create a line that intersects the given line with your straightedge./ Open the compass to the width of the line and draw two arcs./ Use a straightedge to create two arcs above and below the line.

Answer 1

The correct answer to the first question would be the statement 'A protractor and ruler are used to take accurate measurements'. The protractor and the ruler can be used to construct polygons and parallel lines interchangeably.

The correct answer to the second question would be 'open the compass to the width of the line and draw two arcs'.

Answer 2

Answer:

1. A protractor and ruler are used to take accurate measurements.

2. Open the compass to the width of the line and draw two arcs.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. A polygon is a plane shape with three or more sides. And there are various procedures to be followed to construct a given polygon. In inscribed polygon implies constructing a polygon with in a given shape.

Parallel lines are lines that do not meet, even with continuous extension of the lines.

When constructing inscribed polygons and parallel lines, it is important to measure accurately the dimensions given using protractor and ruler.

2. Construction of parallel lines with the given instruments should begin by opening the compass to the width of the line and drawing two arcs. This ensures the accurate location of the lines after the final procedure for the construction.
