Hi Everybody,
I found a video on You Tube that should be helpful for you. It covers most of the basic constructions that you've learned in class. The man in the video does segment construction differently than we do -- he doesn't use a working line. The particular construction that you should focus on is parallel line using alternate interior angles.
About the trapezoid construction, you can simply construct the parallel line exactly the way he does. I'll be giving you the lenghts of the bases by showing two segments. After you construct the two parallel lines, you can make each of them congruent to "my" segments and then simply connect the endpoints. You should have no trouble with that.
Enjoy the video. Sorry I couldn't introduce you to my dog but I don't have access to a video camera at the moment. Hope you're enjoying your weekend.
