Section #3: Key methods and concepts (write out the process and/or a solved example)
 What are the triangle classifications by angles and sides?
Angles
Sides

What are the steps to finding the equation of a perpendicular bisector given two points AND
use that process on the following example: (2, 0) and (6, 4).
Clearly organize the steps and show the work for this example!!

How do you divide a segment into “n”
equal parts using slope?
Use A(-4,7) and J(8,3) divide AJ into 4 equal
segments

How do you divide a segment into a
givenratio?
Now find the point on BC ; B( 1,-5) and
C( (9,-1) that is 2/3 the way from B to C.
New Construction:
Use a compass and straightedge:
 How do you divide a segment into “n” equal parts using constructions?
Show how to divide this segment into 3 equal parts.
