You use a compass to draw an accurate circle.
Compass. Needle point with adjustable gauge and pencil holder.
Constructing geometric figures means with the help of a compass, protractor and a scale with accurate measurement. Drawing may just be drawing rough figures with no accurate measurement.

You might not understand angles and shapes as well with a drawing program, even though it requires a little bit more effort with a compass and straightedge. You would just create shapes without understanding how they were made or what the postulates and theorems and stuff mean. To sum it up, each have their own problems and advantages, but using a compass and a straightedge lets you see deeper into the way shapes and angles work :) ugh I hate using a compass and straightedge in geometry lol :)>
A circle and perpendicular lines can be constructed using the given tools.
pencil,pen,rule,eraser
For drawing a circle.

A compass perhaps?
For navigation, it shows you what direction you are facing. In drawing, it is a device for drawing circles.
There are several different types of compass:magnetic compass, uses a light weight bar magnet on a pivotgyroscopic compass, uses a gyroscope (either mechanical or LASER ring)drawing compass, used to assist in drawing circles for drafting or artetc.
