Well, honey, you're looking at jobs that involve a compass and a straightedge like a math teacher, a draftsman, or an architect. These folks use these tools to draw precise circles, lines, and angles like it's nobody's business. So if you've got a steady hand and a love for geometry, those are the gigs for you!

Using straightedge and compass to make geometric figures?
Some are possible, others are not.
What are some problems using a drawing program and not a compass and straight egde?
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 :)>
It is possible to trisect any angle using only a compass and a straightedge true or false?
False. It is impossible to trisect any angle using only a compass and straightedge, as proven by Pierre Wantzel in 1837. While some angles can be trisected using these tools, the general case for all angles cannot be achieved through classical construction methods.
What are some jobs that involve numbers?
Jobs that involve numbers include pharmacists, construction workers, and math teachers. Scientists, and people who reconstruct accidents also have jobs that involve the use of numbers.
How can you measure a hexagon with no protractor or ruler?
Measuring implies using a measuring device of some kind. If you mean to construct a hexagon without a protractor or ruler, that's different. Constructions in geometry require only a compass and a straightedge (a ruler, but you ignore the numbers). A hexagon can be made of 6 equilateral triangles; choose any length for the side and construct them connected together, using only the compass to set the length and the straightedge to draw straight lines between points.
