Geometric Construction Assignment 3B

Download and print FULL SIZE the PDF file "Geometric Construction-3B". Using the

techniques discussed during lecture and in the reading material provided via Canvas,

draw the correct solutions per the instructions below. Show your construction lines and

arcs. Your construction lines and arcs may not fit entirely in the numbered square and

may in fact not fit on the sheet of paper if you draw your construction lines too long. If

you find they are not fitting on the page, try using smaller lengths for your divisions.

Make sure to write in your name and date. You may find it easier to rotate your paper to

draw parallel lines if you do not have an adjustable triangle.

1. Divide the line AB into 5 equal parts. Divide line CD into proportional parts having

ratios of 3:2:6 starting from point C.

2. Draw the triangle EFG having sides with the proportions 3:4:5. The line EF is the

side that is 5 units long.

3. Using perpendicular bisectors, find the center of the circle that passes through

the points I, J and K. Draw the circle.

4. Draw a hexagon that has vertical sides. The circle is inscribed to the hexagon

meaning the circle is on the inside of the hexagon. The diameter of the circle is

3", which is the distance between the flat sides of the hexagon.

5. Extend the given lines and connect them with a 1" radius arc to make a smooth

continuous line from L to M.

6. Extend the given arcs and connect them with a 1" radius arc to make a smooth

continuous curve from N to P.
