GET 102 GEOMETRIC CONSTRUCTION: POLYGONS AND TANGENCY Objective Question

Question

In the general method for constructing regular polygons (page 8), lines are drawn through point A inclined at 45º and through point B inclined at 60º. To which specific points on the bisection line do these inclined lines intersect?
Options
A Points 3 and 5
B Points 4 and 6
Correct Answer
C Points 5 and 7
D Points 6 and 8
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Steps 2 and 3 on Page 8 state: 'Draw a line through A inclined at 45° using 45° set square to intersect the bisection line at 4' and 'Draw a line through B inclined at 60° using 60° set square to intersect the bisection line at 6'.

Hint

Review 'REGULAR POLYGONS' on page 8, focusing on steps 2 and 3.
