Q:

HELP ASAPWhat are the steps for using a compass and straightedge to construct a square?Drag and drop the steps in order from start to finish.1. Use a straightedge to draw line t and label a point on the line as point B.2. Without changing the compass width, place the compasspoint on point D and draw an arc in the interior of ∠DBE .3. Use the straightedge to draw FD¯¯¯¯¯ and FE¯¯¯¯¯.4. With the compass open to the desired side length of the square, place the compass point on point B and draw an arc on line t and an arc on BC←→ . Label the points of intersection as points D and E.5. Keeping the same compass width, place the compass on point E and draw an arc in the interior of ∠DBE to intersect the previously drawn arc. Label the point of intersection as point F.6. Construct a line perpendicular to line t through point B. Label a point on this line as point C.

Accepted Solution

A:
This is the order;
1. Use a straightedge to draw line t and label a point on the line as point B.
2.  Construct a line perpendicular to line t through point B. Label a point on this line as point C.
3. With the compass open to the desired side length of the square, place the compass point on point B and draw an arc on line t and an arc on BC←→ . Label the points of intersection as points D and E.
4. Without changing the compass width, place the compasspoint on point D and draw an arc in the interior of ∠DBE .
5. Keeping the same compass width, place the compass on point E and draw an arc in the interior of ∠DBE to intersect the previously drawn arc. Label the point of intersection as point F.
6. Use the straightedge to draw FD¯¯¯¯¯ and FE¯¯¯¯¯.
