Your teacher constructed the figure shown. It shows the construction of line PT through point P and parallel to line AB. a. Compass settings of length AB and AP were used in the construction. Complete the statements: With the compass set to length AP, an arc was drawn with the compass point at point ____?____. With the compass set to length?, an arc was drawn with the compass point at point?__. The two arcs intersect at point__?___. b. Write two congruence statements involving segments in the construction. A c. Write a proof that the construction is true. That is, given the construction, prove PT||AB. (Hint: Draw segments to create two congruent triangles.) B
