ASA (draw Step 1: Draw the side. Draw an angle at one end.

Step 2: Draw the angle at the other end. Where the two lines cross is the third vertex of
here) the triangle.

SAS (draw here) Step 1: Draw the angle first.


Step 2: Open your compasses to 12cm. Put the point of the
compasses on A and draw an arc to mark B. Mark C in a similar
way. Draw the side BC.

SSS (draw Step 1: Draw one side. Open your compasses to the length of a second side. Put the
point of the

compasses on one end of the side and draw an arc.
Step 2: Open your compasses to the length of a second side. Put the point of the
compasses on the other end of the side and draw another arc. Where the arcs cross is the
third vertex. Draw the other two sides.
RHS (draw Step 1: Draw the side. Draw a right angle at one end.
Step 2: At the other end, draw an arc equal to the hypotenuse. Draw the third side.
here)
BISECTOR OF A LINE Step 1: Draw the line segment. Open the compasses to about the same length
as the line. (You do not need to measure this exactly.) Draw arcs from one end
SEGMENT (draw here) of the line on both sides of the line.
Step 2: Do the same thing at the other end of the line segment. Do not
change the angle between the arms of the compasses.
Step 1: Open the compasses to a few centimetres. You do not need to measure this.
BISECTOR OF AN ANGLE
Put the point of the compasses on the angle and draw arcs that cross each of the lines.
(draw here) Step 2: Put the compass point on each of the crosses and draw an arc between the two
lines. Do not change the angle between the arms of the compasses. Draw a line
through the angle and the last cross.
This is the perpendicular bisector of the angle. The two angles marked are equal.
