wow ms chan ur geometry class this year is pretty quiet....
did you scare them half to death already?
hhahahahahah
ahhhhh good times.... actually bad times.
anyways you can at least hope you dont have so many failures like me and chris last semester.
can someone help me with 1-6 of 3.3? im just can't seem to get it
p.s who is this daniel guy? and how did he get this blog?
haha
i was in ms chan's class last semester
and our blog was chansdeadzone...
so i just tracked her down and got this
although, chans inferno is kinda weird...
hahaha ms chan's gone bad

Blargh. XD;;
Erg. Numbers one through six on section 3.3 were difficult for me, too. Actually, no--scratch that. I think I almost cried once I got to number six. Blaaah.
Well, I don't know what I can say about numbers one to three than to read and construct carefully. [I italicize construct because a lot of times I just wanted to draw everything. XD]
For number four, I just. Kind of tried following the investigation 3.3.2--I don't really think my answer is correct.
Number five, I'm actually pretty confident about [surprisingly]. The hint in the back of the book says:
"Construct a line with point C. Place the needle of your compass on point C and mark off two points so that C becomes the midpoint of a new line segment. Label the segment AB, Construct the perpendicular bisector of AB. This line should pass through point C."
My initial reaction was: "Doubleyoo-tee-eff? Speak English, please." But, gyah! After reading it a few [hundred] times, the hint is practically telling you how to do everything.
Construct your line with point C:
.D--------------.C-----------.E
Okie dokies. That above is my funky line DE with point C. XD!Ahaahaa.
Place your center at point C. I suggest using a radius that is around...er..well, just use one so you can intersect the line twice with one arc. XD [Or twice without the arc and just those dashie-thingies.]
.D--------(A-----.C------B)-----.E
Woohoo! So, I marked my two points on the line. XD The parenthesis represents the two marks I've made with my compass, and I've labeled it segment AB. Now using points A and B, construct a perpendicular bisector and draw the line--it should pass through C.
But, I am so sincerely sorry if my method is wrong. Because. Erm. I'm just--yeah. Mathematics has always been my worst subject, so my judgment may always be funky.
For number six: Yikes. XD;; I don't think we've ever discussed how to construct squares, but we do have the basics. All the sides are perpendicular. XD
The problem says to draw a line and mark it with two points: Q and R.
Line segment QR is already one side of the square. Construct the perpendiculars for each points Q and R. By doing that, you'll have two more sides--in total, three sides of the square.

Q____________R
[Above--the square with three sides.]
For the last side, you just have to find out where it intersects on the perpendicular lines. I wasn't so sure of what I did...I just. Erm, I constructed circles to--gyah. It probably wouldn't even make sense. ._.;;
I'm sorry--that's all I got. XD But if you do find something, please tell me! I'd appreciate it! I'm finishing up section 3.4 now.
By the way, what method did you guys use to draw an equilateral triangle? Thank you in advance!
Sincerely,
--Mary.
Ewwies.
The post messed up my square. XD;; Ooh, on a second note:
Heeelp me. Fourteen through sixteen of section 3.4 kills my brain cells!
Sincerely,
--Mary.
