Question

construct an isosceles triangle

Answer 1

Assess what you know. To use this method, you should know the length of the triangle's base and the length of the two equal sides. ...

Draw the base. ...

Set the compass. ...

Draw an arc above the base. ...

Draw an intersecting arc above the base. ...

Draw the sides of the triangle.




If you construct the perpendicular bisector of the line segment AB, every point on the perpendicular bisector will be the same distance from both point A and point B. To construct your isosceles triangle, you can start from any point on the perpendicular bisector and draw line segments to point A and to point B.
