Recta y Su Contrucción

1. The document provides definitions and instructions for constructing geometric shapes using loci and constructions. It defines key terms like locus, angle bisector, perpendicular bisector, and gives examples of how to construct triangles, angles, and loci of points from lines or other points. 2. It lists 9 construction exercises involving constructing triangles with given side lengths, bisecting angles, drawing loci of points at given distances from lines, and constructing perpendiculars. Hints are provided for accurately completing each step. 3. Revision notes are included to accurately draw construction lines and define key terms like locus, construct, and how to use compasses and construction techniques for different geometric tasks. An answer sheet is suggested for student self-checking.
