Geometric Constructions
I thought that using the protractor to draw the curves and keep compass the same size were difficult for me because the protractor may move when you keep drawing so if the circle is not perfect I have to redo it over again. I also thought that the part where I had to explain the process of how to draw step-by-ste in words was challenging because when I did it myself, I watched from a GIFs/animated picture so I follow what it shows but when it came to explaining to other people or write down in mathematical words, it was abit hard for me.
How did creating these help you remember characteristics of perpendiculars, bisectors, and points of concurrency?
I used angle bisectors and point of concurrency to inscribed the triangle and that really helped to remind me because this construction contains most of the properties. For Example, the image beside, inscribe is created when incenter of triangle is constructing a perpendicular to a line from point with three sides.
Look back to your construction, how did the compass act as a tool for measuring distance?
The compass helped us measure the same distance around the circle and its same size as you measure at the first time so you don;t have t measure again and also the same distance between each line segments. Compass acted as a tool to measure the circle inside the triangle wiched called Inscribed circle.
