Question

1. choose the best answer.

which is the best definition for the term construction?
a point that bisects a segment into two congruent segments
a method of creating a geometric figure that is mathematically precise by using a compass and straightedge
line segments having the same length
dividing into two equal or congruent parts

1. choose the best answer.

which is the best definition for the term coordinate?
line segments having the same length
a number that corresponds to a point
a method of creating a geometric figure that is mathematically precise by using a compass and straightedge
a point that bisects a segment into two congruent segments

Explanation:

• For the term "construction":
• A point that bisects a segment into two congruent segments is a mid - point, not a construction.
• Line segments having the same length are congruent segments.
• Dividing into two equal or congruent parts is bisecting.
• A construction is a method of creating a geometric figure that is mathematically precise by using a compass and straightedge.
• For the term "coordinate":
• Line segments having the same length are congruent segments.
• A method of creating a geometric figure that is mathematically precise by using a compass and straightedge is a construction.
• A point that bisects a segment into two congruent segments is a mid - point.
• A coordinate is a number that corresponds to a point.

Answer:

1. a method of creating a geometric figure that is mathematically precise by using a compass and straightedge
2. a number that corresponds to a point
