IM G Unit 1 Lesson 1
Copy this figure using only the Pen tool and no other tools.
Familiarize yourself with your digital straightedge and compass tools by drawing a few circles of different sizes, drawing a few line segments of different lengths, and extending some of those line segments in both directions.
Copy the figure by completing these steps with the Line, Segment, and Ray tools and the Circle and Compass tools:
- Draw a point and label it A.
- Draw a circle centered at point A with a radius equal to length PQ.
- Mark a point on the circle and label it B.
- Draw another circle centered at point B that goes through point .A
- Draw a line segment between points A and B.
- Create a circle centered at A with radius AB.
- Estimate the midpoint of segment AB, mark it with the Point on Object tool, and label it C.
- Create a circle centered at B with radius BC. Mark the 2 intersection points with the Intersection tool. Label the one toward the top of the page as D and the one toward the bottom as E.
- Use the Polygon tool to connect points A, D, and E to make triangle .
Here is a hexagon with all congruent angles and all congruent sides (called a regular hexagon).
- Try to draw a copy 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.
