An instrument commonly used for constructing circles and arcs of circles is a compass. It consists of two arms: one with a pointed end that serves as the pivot point, and the other with a pencil or drawing tool to create the curve. By adjusting the distance between the arms, you can easily draw circles of various sizes. Compasses are essential tools in geometry, drafting, and various fields of engineering and design.

The construction that involves connecting two arcs on opposite sides of a segment is known as the "arc method" or "compass construction." This technique typically starts with a line segment, and a compass is used to draw arcs from each endpoint of the segment, ensuring the arcs intersect above and below the segment. The intersection points of these arcs are then connected to form a geometric shape, such as a triangle or a perpendicular bisector. This method is commonly used in various geometric constructions.

A geometric compass is an instrument, or a tool, used in plane geometry to draw arcs and circles. Not to be confused with the geometric and military compass invented by Galileo.
