Worked Examples

This chapter begins by addressing the building blocks of geometry which are the point, the line, and the plane. Students will construct line
segments, midpoints, bisectors, angles, angle bisectors, perpendicular lines, parallel lines, polygons, and points of concurrency. A
translation is a rigid motion that preserves the size and shape of segments, angles, and polygons. Students use the coordinate plane and
algebra to determine the characteristics of lines, segments, and points of concurrency.
