Unit 1: Lesson 3 Constructing Patterns
1. I can make a Perfect Copy.
Here is a hexagon with all congruent angles and all congruent sides (called a regular hexagon).
Try to draw a copy (WITHOUT tracing) of the regular hexagon using only the pen tool.
Draw your copy next to the hexagon given, and then drag the given one onto yours. What happened?
2. I can create a regular hexagon accurately.
Here is a figure that shows the first few steps to constructing the regular hexagon. Use straightedge and compass moves to finish constructing the regular hexagon. Drag the given one onto yours and confirm that it fits perfectly onto itself.
Remember: that a regular hexagon will have 6 EQUAL sides.
Hint: Think about how we created circles that have the same radius length. Continue that pattern.
BE CAREFUL!! Make sure the line segments that you draw are the RADIUS of the circle.
Let's Reflect!
Does your hexagon match the purple given hexagon?
Marca todas las que correspondan
- A
- B
- C
Prove it!
How do you know each of the sides of the shape are the same length? Show or explain your reasoning.
