In perspective drawing, a horizon line is the height of the viewer’s eyes. Horizon Line (aka “Eye Level Line”): This an imaginary line represents the farthest distance in the background. To put it a different way, it’s the point or points where orthogonal lines come together. Vanishing Point(s): The point(s) where parallel lines seem to converge and disappear. Here are a few terms you will encounter throughout this lesson: Perspective drawing is a way for us to express a three dimensional space on a two dimensional surface. Label this point C and complete the triangle.In this lesson, I’m going to introduce one and two-point linear perspective. Place the point of the compass on A and draw an arc on the perpendicular. Review the construction of a perpendicular from a point on a line on slide 24. The hypotenuse, the longest side in a right-angled triangle, must always be the side opposite the right angle. Ask pupils how we know that, if angle B is a right-angle, side AC must be the hypotenuse. 7 cm Extend AB and use a compass to construct a perpendicular at point B. How could we construct a right-angled triangle given the right angle, the length of the hypotenuse and the length of one other side? hypotenuse right angle side We use the abbreviation RHS to stand for Right angle, Hypotenuse and Side.įor example, construct ABC with AB = 5 cm, B = 90° and AC = 7 cm. Remember, the longest side in a right-angled triangle is called the hypotenuse. Draw lines AC and BC to complete the triangle.

Put the point of the compass at point B and draw an arc crossing over the other one. A 4 cm B Next, stretch the compass out to a length of 3 cm. 5 cm 3 cm Put the point of the compass at point A and draw an arc above line AB. Use a compass and stretch it out to a length of 5 cm. We use the abbreviation SSS to stand for Side, Side, Side.įor example, construct ABC with AB = 4 cm, BC = 3 cm and AC = 5 cm. How could we construct a triangle given the lengths of three sides? side side side Hint: We would need to use a compass. A 10 cm B Use a ruler to draw a line from B to meet the other line at point C. Use a protractor to mark an angle of 115° from point B. Remind pupils that construction lines should not be rubbed out. Establish that we could measure angle C to verify that it measures 30°. 115° 35° Ask pupils how we could check that this triangle has been constructed correctly. Use a protractor to mark an angle of 35° from point A. We use the abbreviation ASA to stand for Angle, Side and Angle.įor example, construct ABC with AB = 10 cm, A = 35° and B = 115°. How could we construct a triangle given two angles and the length of the side between them? angle angle side The side between the two angles is often called the included side.

Join A to C using a ruler to complete the triangle. 68° A 6 cm B Use a ruler to draw a line of 5 cm from B to C. C 5 cm Use a protractor to mark an angle of 68° from point B.

We use the abbreviation SAS to stand for Side, Angle and Side.įor example, construct ABC with AB = 6 cm, B = 68° and BC = 5 cm. How could we construct a triangle given the lengths of two of its sides and the angle between them? side angle side The angle between the two sides is often called the included angle. Construct the following: - Right triangle Acute triangle What is an acute, obtuse and right triangle?ģ Mind-On. Grade 6 Geometry The aim of this unit is to teach pupils to: Construct lines, angles and shapes Find simple loci, both by reasoning and by using ICT Material in this unit is linked to the Key Stage 3 Framework supplement of examples pp Constructing TrianglesĢ Re-cap What is an isosceles, scalene, and equilateral triangle?
