Straightedge Compass
The ancient Greeks utilized a straightedge and compass to construct various geometric figures, including triangles, circles, and polygons. These tools allowed for precise constructions based on fundamental geometric principles, such as the ability to create bisectors, perpendiculars, and inscribed shapes. Notable constructions included the division of a line segment into equal parts and the construction of regular polygons, like the pentagon. However, certain problems, such as squaring the circle, were proven impossible with these tools alone.
