uTo construct a perpendicular line that passes through a specified point on a line

1.Draw an infinite line, and then draw a point on the line through which you want the perpendicular line to pass.

2.Select the line and the point.

3.Tap [Draw], [Construct], and then [Perpendicular]. This draws a line through the point you selected, which is perpendicular to the line where the point is located.

uTo construct a midpoint

1.Draw a line segment and then select it.

2.Tap [Draw], [Construct], and then [Midpoint]. This adds a midpoint to the segment.

uTo construct the point of intersection of two lines

1.Draw two lines that intersect, and then select both lines.

2.Tap [Draw], [Construct], and then [Intersection].

This adds the point of intersection. The point(s) of intersection of two circles or of a line and a circle can be constructed in the same manner.

uTo construct an angle bisector

1.Draw two line segments so they form an angle, and then select both line segments.

2.Tap [Draw], [Construct], and then [Angle Bisector]. This bisects the angle.

uTo construct a line parallel to another line through a specified point

1.Draw a line and a point that is not on the line.

2.Select the line and the point.

3.Tap [Draw], [Construct], and then [Parallel]. This draws an infinite line that passes through the selected point and is parallel to the selected line.
