Practice Questions
Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Using a compass, construct the perpendicular bisector of the line segment AB, where A and B are points on the grid.
[3 marks]2.
Given points C and D, construct the midpoint of CD using only a compass and ruler.
[2 marks]3.
Construct the perpendicular bisector of segment EF and mark its intersection with a third segment GH on the grid.
[4 marks]4.
Construct a line that is perpendicular bisector of a given segment and verify it passes through the midpoint.
[3 marks]5.
Construct the perpendicular bisector of a segment with endpoints at points P and Q. Confirm that your bisector intersects the segment at its midpoint.
[3 marks]6.
Construct the perpendicular bisectors of two sides of a triangle and explain how they relate to the triangle's circumcircle.
[4 marks]7.
A line segment on the grid has endpoints at points R and S. Using compass only, construct its perpendicular bisector and determine if it is also the line of symmetry for a shape drawn nearby.
[4 marks]8.
Construct the perpendicular bisector of a segment with endpoints at coordinates (2,3) and (8,7). Confirm the construction is accurate.
[3 marks]9.
Construct the perpendicular bisector of a segment, then use it to find the point equidistant from two points A and B on the grid. Describe your method.
[4 marks]10.
Construct a perpendicular bisector of a segment and identify common mistakes students might make. How can these errors be corrected?
