Y8 Unit 7 Review

This document is a math review for a unit test on constructions and loci. It contains 9 questions involving using a ruler, compass, and protractor to complete geometric constructions and draw loci. The questions involve constructing triangles, pyramid nets, angle bisectors, perpendiculars, loci of equidistant points, right triangles without a protractor, circles representing radio signal ranges, shaded regions for treasure locations, playground equipment locations defined by perpendicular bisectors and loci, and a running track defined by an offset boundary. The final section is an optional challenge not marked on the test.
