When we write the instructions for a construction, we can use a previous construction as one of the steps. We now know two new constructions that are made up of a sequence of moves:
Two figures of perpendicular lines. Figure on the left: Two congruent circles, each pass through the center of the other. A line through both centers extends beyond both circles. A blue line is drawn through the two circle's intersection points and a right angle is marked. The figure on the right is a pair of parallel lines with an intersecting blue line that is marked with two right angles.
