Who invented the compass used in Geometry?
The first proportional compasses were invented in the mid sixteenth century. Galileo invented a geometric and military compass in Padua in 1597. With his compass it was possible to make all sorts of arithmetical and geometrical calculations, from calculating interest to square and cube roots to drawing polygons and surveying.
A state map has a circle-shaped compass. If the radius of the compass is 15 millimeters what is the approximate area of the compass (Use 3.14 for .)?
Area of compass: 3.14*15*15 = 706.5 square mm
