What name is given to the line traced by a pair of compasses to form circle?
radius Additional answer Actually, the radius is the line that joins the centre to the circumference. The line that compasses draw to trace a circle is just that, a circle.
How can you construct 135 degree angle only with a scale and compasses?
Construct a perpendicular line that intersects a horizontal line at 90 degrees and then bisect the vertical line with the horizontal line will give an obtuse angle of 135 degrees because 90 degrees+45 degrees = 135 degrees
How can you draw a rectangle?
It is made up out of 4 lines, 4 corners and 4 right angles. Haha, this is all I can say on how to make a rectangle. Draw a horizontal line along the page (say 5 cm long) Using a pair of compasses and a straight edge construct a 90o angle at the left end of this line; or alternatively measure 90o using a protractor at the left end. Draw another line from the left end vertically up this 90o angle (say 2 cm). Using a pair of compasses set to the length of the long horizontal line, put the point at the top of the vertical line and draw an arc over the right end of the horizontal line (roughly the height of the vertical line above it) Now setting them to the length of the vertical line, put the point on the right end of the horizontal line and draw an arc to intersect the previously drawn arc. With the straight edge, join the top of the left vertical line, and the right of the horizontal line, tot he point where the arcs cross. Rub out the arc construction lines and you'll have a rectangle left.
What do Muslims use compasses for?
Muslims use specialized compasses for locating the direction of Kabatullah (the Ka'aba in Mecca) at the time of offering Namaaz (Prayer/Supplication).
Is a tool to create arcs and circles?
It is a pair of compasses
Why can't you find the midpoint of a line?
You can with a pair of compasses!
What name is given to the line traced by a pair of compasses to form circle?
radius Additional answer Actually, the radius is the line that joins the centre to the circumference. The line that compasses draw to trace a circle is just that, a circle.
What name is given to the line traced by a pair of compasses to form a circle?
The circumference.
What is the possessive form of the word Compasses?
The plural possessive for compasses is compasses'.
How many types of compasses are there?
There are two main types: Magnetic compasses and gyro compasses.
How do you draw a line segment 6 cm long?
Two methods: Draw a straight line using a straight edge Mark one point on it Set a pair of compasses to 6cm With the point on the mark, draw another mark with the compasses on the line. The line between the two marks is a line segment of 6cm. Using a rule marked in cm draw a straight line between the 0cm and 6cm marks along its edge.
Divide a circle into 12 equal parts?
Use a pair of compasses to draw a circle. Without changing the compasses, place the point of the compasses on the circumference and draw a small arc such that it intersects the circumference. Put the point on this intersection and repeat until you have 6 equally spaced "intersections". Select 2 adjacent intersections and, from each of them, draw an arc outside the circumference such that the 2 arcs intersect. Draw a line from this intersection to the centre of the circle. This line intersects the circumference halfway between the adjacent points. With the compasses set to the original radius of the circle (it's better to leave them fixed at this throughout!) place the compasses' point on the intersection of the straight line and the circumference then draw a series of arcs, as you did originally. These will complete the division by 12
What is the possessive form of compasses?
The possessive form of compass is compass's.
What is the plural form of compasses?
Compasses is the plural form of compass.
How do you construct angle 135 degrees?
Note that 135 = 90 + 45.So first construct a right angle, and then bisect the "back" half of it:Draw (horizontal) straight line XABConstruct the perpendicular bisector at A: With the point of your compasses on A draw arcs either side of it on line segments AX and AB.Open your compasses wider, with the point on where the arc in step 2.1 cuts (intersects) AB, draw an arc above the line XAB.With the compasses set the same, with the point on where the arc in step 2.1 cuts AX, draw an arc to cut the arc drawn in step 2.Mark the point where the arcs cut as Y.Draw in line AY.Bisect angle XAY: With the point of the compasses on A, draw arcs on lines AX and AYWith the point of the compasses on where the arc drawn in step 3.1 cuts AX, draw an arc between AX and AY.With the compasses set the same, with the point on where the arc in step 3.1 cuts AY, draw an arc to cut the arc drawn in step 2.Mark the point where the arcs cut C.Draw in line ACAngle CAB is 135oIn drawing the arcs to cut, if they don't cut you may have to either increase the distance between the point and "pencil" of your compasses and/or redraw the arcs longer.
What is the plural of compass?
