The compass may or may not collapse (i.e. fold after being taken off the page, erasing its 'stored' radius). Lines and circles constructed have infinite precision and zero width. Actual compasses do not collapse and modern geometric constructions often use this feature. A 'collapsing compass' would appear to be a less powerful instrument.
KSEG is a tool designed to let you easily visualize dynamic properties of compass and straightedge construction and to make geometric exploration as fast and easy as possible. KSEG was inspired by the Geometer's Sketchpad , but it goes beyond the functionality that Sketchpad provides.
A beam compass and a regular compass Using a compass A compass with an extension accessory for larger circles A bow compass capable of drawing the smallest possible circles. A compass, also commonly known as a pair of compasses, is a technical drawing instrument that can be used for inscribing circles or arcs.
Use a geometry compass from elementary school to college and all the way to the drafting table.
A common use is to specify the geometry necessary for the construction of a component and is called a detail drawing. Usually, a number of drawings are necessary to completely specify even a simple component. These drawings are linked together by a "master drawing." This "master drawing" is more commonly known as an assembly drawing.
The diagrams we use show this construction for an acute angle, but it indeed works for any angle up to 180 degrees. This requires three facts from geometry (at right): Any full set of angles on a straight line add to 180°, The sum of angles of any triangle is 180°, and,
Google Drawings is a diagramming software included as part of the free, web-based Google Docs Editors suite offered by Google. The service also includes Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Slides, Google Forms, Google Sites, and Google Keep. Google Drawings is available as a web application and as a desktop application on Google's ChromeOS.
