Geometry construction - practice problems

Geometry construction problems involve creating precise geometric figures using only specific tools, classically a compass (for drawing circles and arcs) and straightedge (for drawing straight lines without measurement). Fundamental constructions include bisecting angles and segments, constructing perpendicular and parallel lines, copying angles, and creating regular polygons. These constructions must be exact, not approximations from measurement. Historical problems include the three classical impossible constructions: squaring the circle, doubling the cube, and trisecting an angle using only compass and straightedge. Modern geometric constructions also use other tools and appear in applications like computer-aided design. Construction problems develop spatial reasoning, logical thinking, and understanding of geometric relationships and properties.
