The construction that involves connecting two arcs on opposite sides of a segment is known as the "arc method" or "compass construction." This technique typically starts with a line segment, and a compass is used to draw arcs from each endpoint of the segment, ensuring the arcs intersect above and below the segment. The intersection points of these arcs are then connected to form a geometric shape, such as a triangle or a perpendicular bisector. This method is commonly used in various geometric constructions.

An instrument commonly used for constructing circles and arcs of circles is a compass. It consists of two arms: one with a pointed end that serves as the pivot point, and the other with a pencil or drawing tool to create the curve. By adjusting the distance between the arms, you can easily draw circles of various sizes. Compasses are essential tools in geometry, drafting, and various fields of engineering and design.

A compass is mainly used to draw perfect circles, but it can also be used to draw arcs of different sizes.

A compass (properly referred to as 'a pair of compasses') is the two-legged tool which which has a sharp point on one leg and a place to hold a pencil on the other leg. The pointed leg is used as the centre of a circle or arc.
A geometric compass is an instrument, or a tool, used in plane geometry to draw arcs and circles. Not to be confused with the geometric and military compass invented by Galileo.
