Question 3 - Figure it out (Page 140) While constructing one pair of intersecting arcs, is it necessary that we use the same radii for both of them ? Explore this through construction, and then justify your answerLet’s try this out YES! This is critical. This is because If you change the compass width between X and Y, the meeting point won't be in the middle anymore! It would be closer to one side. To be in the middle, you must be the same distance from both players (X and Y).
