Construct the initials of your first and last name using a compass and straightedge on a piece of paper.

- Only parallel and perpendicular lines may be used in the construction.
- Both types of constructions must be demonstrated in your finished product.
- Do not erase arc markings made during the construction process as these help your instructor determine if the lines are constructed properly.

My initials are VG, but I don't know how to start. Can someone please help?

To construct the initials 'VG' using geometry, use a compass and straightedge to create perpendicular and parallel lines. Begin with the 'V' using a vertical line and a perpendicular line at the bottom, and for 'G', start with a circle and construct a perpendicular tangent line. Leave arc marks visible to show construction accuracy. ;

To construct the initials "V" and "G" with a compass and straightedge, start by drawing a horizontal baseline for both letters. For "V", draw two lines from a point above the baseline down to it, and for "G", create a large circle, adding perpendicular and horizontal lines to form the letter. Ensure to keep all arc markings visible as they are part of the construction process.
