Problem Of the Week - due May 14, 2001

From the Text: Pages 311-312(8-4b) all MUST be a construction^*[2.3.3][1.3.4]  [Geometric Constructions - demos] [Interactive constructions - A bit complicated but Interesting]

^*Constructions are done using a compass   and a straight-edge . They are not done freehand. They show construction marks. Sketches or freehand renderings are NOT acceptable.
