A "straightedge" person was originally someone who didn't do any of the following; * take/use drugs * drink any alcohol * smoke * have sex * eat dairy products * eat meat now-a-days, most kids call themselves straightedge if they don't do the top 3 in the list, and any kids that don't do anything in the list are called "hardcore straight-up straightedge kids" Answer A straightedge is a piece of wood or plastic to help in drawing straight lines. A ruler is a straightedge, but a straightedge may not be a ruler. Both have a straight edge, certainly, but a ruler also has marked gradations for measuring things.

Can a protractor be used as a straightedge when creating geometric constructions?

Yes, a protractor can be used as a straightedge for geometric constructions, as it typically has a straight edge along one side. However, it is primarily designed for measuring angles, so while it can serve as a straightedge, using a dedicated straightedge might yield more precise results. When using a protractor as a straightedge, ensure that the edge is aligned accurately to maintain the integrity of the construction.
