Loop the string around the thumbtack and the pencil so that the distance from the tack to the pencil point is AB units. Fix the thumbtack to where you want the centre of the circle. Using the pencil, and with the string taut, mark its positions. These will lie on a circle with radius AB.
Adjust the compass to the given line segment then construct the circle.
To construct a hexagon, you need a compass, a straightedge (ruler), and a pencil. Start by drawing a circle with the compass; the radius will determine the size of the hexagon. Then, using the same radius, mark off six equal points around the circle's circumference, which will serve as the vertices of the hexagon. Finally, connect these points with straight lines to complete the hexagon.
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.
To draw a circle with a compass, first set the distance between the point and the pencil of the compass using a ruler. This distance is the radius. Now, place the point on the paper where you want the center of the circle. Spin the compass around the point, lightly dragging the pencil on the paper, and you will have a circle.
1) Draw a circle of radius 32 2) Draw a radius (meeting the perimeter at A) 3) Based on the radius, construct an angle at the centre of the circle of 100° - draw a second radius (meeting the perimeter at B) 4) Based on the second radius, construct an angle at the centre of the circle of 120° - draw a third radius (meeting the perimeter at C) Note : the angle between the third and first radii measures 140°. 5) Draw chords joining A to B, B to C, and C to A. The triangle ABC has angles measuring 50°, 60° and 70°. NOTE : The process is based on the Theorem that the angle subtended by an arc at the centre of a circle is twice the angle subtended at any point on the circumference.

Pressure equals force/area. Force equals 23 Newtons (N) and area of a circle equals 3.14*radius^2. Therefore pressure equals .46N per mm. l
The pressure on your thumb can be calculated by dividing the force (25N) by the area of the thumbtack head in contact with your thumb. The area can be found using the formula for the area of a circle, A = πr^2, where r is the radius (5mm). Therefore, the pressure on your thumb is 25N / (π * (5mm)^2) = 1N/mm^2, or 1 MPa.
It depends on how sharp your pencil is! (A boring person would say "infinity")

-- Stick a nail into a board. -- Tie a piece of thread around a pencil. -- 30 cm from the pencil, stick the thread to the nail. -- Draw a line on the board with the pencil. Keep the thread tight and go all the way around the nail. -- The line is a circle with radius 30 cm.

Construct a circle with a 4.5 radius. The circle's circumference is 360 degrees. So mark out 3 by 120 degrees on the circumference and join them to the centre of the circle which will divide the circle into three equal parts.
the radius of a circle is r
The radius of a circle is half the circle's diameter
