Geometry Constructions Flashcard

Front

What is a Perpendicular Line?

Back

A line that intersects another line at a right angle (90 degrees).

Front

What is an Angle Bisector?

Back

A line that divides an angle into two equal parts.

Front

What does it mean to construct a Parallel Line to a point not on the line?

Back

To draw a line that is equidistant from the given line and does not intersect it.

Front

What is a Hexagon Inscribed in a Circle?

Back

A hexagon where all its vertices lie on the circumference of a circle.

Front

What is the process of Copying an Angle?

Back

Using a compass and straightedge to create an angle that is equal to a given angle.

Front

What is a Perpendicular Bisector?

Back

A line that divides a line segment into two equal parts at a right angle.

Front

What are Corresponding Angles?

Back

Angles that are in the same position on different parallel lines cut by a transversal.

Front

What is a Circle Inscribed in a Hexagon?

Back

A circle that touches all sides of a hexagon at exactly one point.

Front

What is the definition of a Line Segment?

Back

A part of a line that is bounded by two distinct endpoints.

Front

What is the purpose of constructing a Perpendicular Line to a point not on a line?

Back

To create a line that intersects the given line at a right angle from a specific point.
