Practice Questions
Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Using a compass, construct the perpendicular bisector of a given line segment AB of length 6 cm. Label your bisector.
[3 marks]2.
Construct a triangle with sides 5 cm, 7 cm, and 8 cm. Then, draw the perpendicular bisector of the longest side. Describe the steps you used.
[4 marks]3.
Construct the perpendicular bisector of a segment AB that is 4 cm long, and find the point equidistant from A and B on the bisector.
[3 marks]4.
Plot the graph of y=2x and construct a perpendicular bisector of the segment connecting points (1,2) and (5,6).
[3 marks]5.
Construct the perpendicular bisector of a 6 cm segment and identify the point that is equidistant from both endpoints. Provide the construction steps.
[4 marks]6.
Construct a perpendicular bisector of a segment and explain how it can be used to find the center of a circle passing through the segment's endpoints.
[4 marks]7.
Construct a segment of 7 cm and then draw its perpendicular bisector. Mark the point where the bisector intersects the segment and explain how this point relates to the segment.
[3 marks]8.
Construct a perpendicular bisector of a segment and then verify that any point on the bisector is equidistant from the segment's endpoints. Describe your verification process.
[4 marks]9.
Given a segment with endpoints at (2,3) and (6,7), construct its perpendicular bisector and find its intersection with the x-axis.
[3 marks]10.
Identify and correct the mistake in this construction: The student attempted to bisect a segment using only a ruler and no compass. Explain the error and describe the correct method.
[3 marks]11.
Challenge: Construct a triangle with sides 5 cm, 6 cm, and 7 cm. Then, find the circumcenter by constructing the perpendicular bisectors of two sides. Describe the process and verify the point is equidistant from all vertices.
