Introduction

Copy the following Shapes:

Now, take a ruler and a protractor to measure their sides and angles.

Do all the shapes match perfectly?

Their measurements may slightly.

To draw figures with accurate dimensions, we need special tools. In this chapter, we will explore how to construct geometric figures precisely using a ruler, compass, and protractor. These tools help us create shapes with correct sizes and angles.

They are essential parts of a geometry box.

A geometry box contains several tools that assist in drawing and measuring:

  • Compass: Helps in drawing circles and arcs.
  • Protractor: Measures angles accurately.
  • Divider: Used to divide a line into equal parts or mark distances.etc...

Each tool plays a unique role in geometric constructions, helping us achieve precision in our drawings.
