The first compass, which is a tool for drawing circles and arcs, is attributed to the ancient Greeks, particularly to the mathematician Euclid around 300 BCE. The straightedge, a tool for drawing straight lines, has been used since ancient times, but its specific inventor is not clearly documented. Both tools have evolved over centuries, but their early forms played significant roles in the development of geometry and construction.
What else can I help you with?
How many sides does a polygon have when only a compass and straight edge are used?
A compass and straight edge are used to create a polygon but do not limit the number of sides of the polygon created. You have to decide that separately, then use the compass and straight edge to make what you decide on.
What kind of job requires using a compass or straight edge?
being an archetect requires a compass, straight edge and many other tools
What is the difference between a math straight edge and a math ruler?
A ruler has markings, a straight edge does not. In "straight edge and compass" constructions, you are not allowed to mark the straight edge. Things that are impossible using only a straight edge and compass are possible if markings are allowed (for example, it's possible to trisect an angle using a marked straight edge).
When Trisecting a line segment requires a ruler and a compass since a straight edge and compass will not be sufficient?
False
What are 3 tools used in geometry?
A protractor, a straight edge and a compass

What is a drawing created using a compass and straight edge?
A drawing created using a compass and straight edge is called a construction.See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compass_and_straightedge_constructions
What is it called when you use a geometric figure the figure is created with you soon to all such as a ruler straight edge compass or?
A geometrical construction can be made with with a straight edge and a compass.
How do you construct 7.5 degree with compass?
By bisecting a 15 degree angle with a straight edge and a compass.
When Trisecting a line segment requires a ruler and a compass since a straight edge and compass will not be sufficient?
False
Which tools are necessary to construct a perpendicular bisector?
A compass and a straight edge
Which tools are necessary to construct an angle bisector?
A compass and straight edge.

Can you construct a 90 degree angle by compass?
Yes together with a straight edge
How do you construct a 35.5 degree angle using a compass?
With a straight edge and a protractor
