Constructing Perpendicular and Angle Bisectors WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

Use this worksheet prior to some of our Loci worksheets.

Section A contains line segments that require a perpendicular bisector.

Section B then extends this skill by providing circles with two chords. The centres of these circles can be found by finding where the perpendicular bisectors of the chords intersect.

Section C has three angles to bisect, which is then extended on in section D.

An extension exercise requires perpendiculars from points to lines to be constructed.
