Use a straight edge and compasses to construct:

• the midpoint and perpendicular bisector of a line segment;
• the bisector of an angle;
• the perpendicular from a point to a line;
• the perpendicular from a point on a line.

Construct a triangle, given three sides (SSS); use ICT to explore these constructions.
