What is a fixed point that you use to draw a circle is called as?
The fixed point that is located in the center of a circle and is used as the guiding point to draw it is called the "point of origin".
How can you use a compass to draw a circle if you know its raduis or diameter?
If you know the radius place the compass point on a ruler and the pencil end the radius distance away from it. Then put the point on the paper and spin to draw the circle. If you know the diameter divide by two to get the radius and place the compass point on a ruler and the pencil end the radius distance away from it. Then put the point on the paper and spin to draw the circle.
What geometric shape do you use to draw a circle?
Circle
What motion do you use if you draw a circle in the air with your finger?
a circle
How to draw a pie?
An easy way to draw a pie is by first drawing a circle. Next, use lines to divide the circle into slices.
Which tool would you use to draw a circle?
A compass
Who uses a compass and why?
Anyone!Use it do draw a perfect circle, or a circle of the wanted measurements
What is the proper way to hold a circle divider when drawing a circle?
One can draw a circle by finding a round object that is the perfect size and trace the circle. One can also use a compass or string to draw a circle.
Construct a circle with a radius r. mark a point on the circle. construct a tangent thourgh this point.?
1) draw the circle with a radius r and the center at O. 2) mark a point, A, on the circle 3) draw a line from O to A and beyond to point B, a little longer than the radius 4) draw a perpendicular bisector at point A using line OB 5) the perpendicular bisector is the tangent at point A In case, you forgot about drawing the perpendicular bisector. Here is the procedure: a) use your compass and mark equidistant points C and D from point A on line OB (make the length slightly less than half the radius); one point should be outside the circle and the other within. b) use your compass and draw an arc from point C and then from point D, with the arc radii being identical and about as long as the circle radius; the two arcs should intercept at two locations, E and F, one on each side of line OA. c) join points E and F to form the perpendicular bisector of line CD ===============================
How do you construct a parallel line?
You place a ruler on a piece of paper and trace both sides. Put the point of your pair of compasses on the line and draw a circle. Then draw another circle, that is the same size, the same way further along the line. You will then be able to use your rule to draw a line that is a tangent to the two circle, and so parallel to your first line. Once you have done this you will realize that you don't need to draw a full circle just a small arc.
How would you draw a regular pentagon?
*Note that it is assumed you know what the terms diameter, perpendicular, bisect/bisection and intersection mean in relation to geometry. If not, they are explained in the discussion area. To construct a regular pentagon using a compass and ruler (a longer, but more precise method): # Draw a circle in which to inscribe the pentagon and mark the center point O. # Choose a point A on the circle; this will be one vertex of the pentagon. Draw the diameter line through O and A. # Construct a line perpendicular to the line OA passing through O. Mark its intersection with one side of the circle as the point B. # Construct the point C as the midpoint of O and B. # Draw a circle centered at C through the point A. Mark its intersection with the line OB(inside the original circle) as the point D. # Draw a circle centered at A through the point D. Mark its intersections with the original circle as the points E and F. # Draw a circle centered at E through the point A. Mark its other intersection with the original circle as the point G. # Draw a circle centered at F through the point A. Mark its other intersection with the original circle as the point H. # Construct the regular pentagon AEGHF. To construct a regular pentagon using a protractor (less time, but not as accurate): # Make a short line. This will be one side of the pentagon. Label the ends A and B # Place the baseline of the protractor on this line, with the centre at A. # Mark the point of 108o with a dot. # Make another line which starts at A, is the same length as AB and goes towards the dot. # Repeat the use of the protractor on the newest line you have drawn three more times. The final line should meet up with B.
How do you draw a circle with the diameter of 6 on a graph?
If you want to have an center point of zero you use the equation x2+y2=r2. In this case x2+y2=9.
