Question 2 - Figure it out (Page 140) Is it necessary to construct the pairs of arcs above and below XY? Instead, can we construct both the pairs of arcs on the same side of XY? Explore this through construction, and then justify your answerLet’s try this out No, it's not necessary to go top and bottom. You CAN do both on the same side! This is because We just need two points to draw a straight line. Usually, we do one top and one bottom because it's neater and more accurate. But if you found two different points above the line (maybe one really high up and one just a little up), you could connect them and it would still work!
