Print the two activity sheets in this investigation and use them to draw perpendicular and parallel lines. In the first activity we use Tisdell's Geometry Tool (TGT) in Mathomat to construct perpendicular lines. In the second investigation the right angled triangle in Mathomat is used with the isometric line in the teamplate for constructing parallel lines.
It is important to be familiar with different ways of constructing geometric designs using Mathomat. Consider that in geometry the basic (sometimes called primitive) elements of our physical world can be represented using points, lines and arcs. Professor Tisdell has captured this in his TGT design. Parallelism is a definition involving those elements. If we draw two different lines, there are only two possibilities. Either those lines will meet at a point, or they never will - continuing on into infinity without meeting. The lines in this second type of drawing are called parallel.
Being able to draw geometrically using all of the creative features of Mathomat encourages insight into the geometric structure of our world.
