Dividing a Segment into Equal Pieces
This applet walks through the ruler and compass construction that
starts with a given segment and divides the segment into an integer
number of segments of equal length.
Drag the Steps slider to see the steps of the construction. The
construction assumes that the user has already worked through the
construction of the line through a point perpendicular to a given line
segment.
|
The two points, A and B, which
define the line, and the given point C, can be moved to
new positions by dragging.
