Basic Poincare model construction checlist

Your NAME:

Check off each of the constructions below when you have done it, either on paper or with Sketchpad.

All points and lines below are P-points and P-lines unless otherwise specified!

1
  1. Line through 2 points. Construct the line AB through two points A and B.
  2. Perpendicular line. Given a point C not on line AB, construct the line through C orthogonal to line AB.
  3. Asymptotic parallels. Given an ideal point X and a point E, construct the line through E and X. Given a point C not on line AB, construct the two lines through C which are asymptotically parallel to line AB.
  4. Ultraparallels. Given two ultraparallel lines m = line AB and n = line CD, construct the line p that is orthogonal to both.
  5. Line Reflection. Given a point C, construct the reflection C' of C in line AB.
  6. Perpendicular Bisector as Mirror Line. Given points A and B, construct the line m which reflects A to B. Be sure to include the case when B is the center of the P-disk. (This line will be the perpendicular bisector when distance is defined. Notice that this means than any point can be moved to any other by a line reflection.)
  7. Circle given center and radius. Given a point A and a point B, construct the circle with center A through B. (Hint: This circle is a P-circle. As will be explained by an experiment below, a P-circle is actually a Euclidean circle in the interior of the disk of the P-model. As in the DWEG model and the Stereo model, the P-center is not the Euclidean center, for a P-diameter of the circle is a P-line orthogonal to the circle.0
  8. Circle given diameter. Given points A and B, construct the circle with diameter AB
