Draw and label line Ab
The straightedge can only be used to draw a straight line, or check to see if a surface is flat, but cannot measure length. A ruler can be used to draw a straight line or check for flatness, and a ruler can also measure length because it has evenly spaced markes denoting inches and centimeters.
We are not here to do your homework for you.
Using a compass and ruler: # At the point you want the perpendicular line to cross, place a dot. Label it A. # Draw a circle centred at A with a radius of about an inch (two-three centimetres). Label the points it intersects the original line as B and C. # Construct two circles centred at B and C, large enough that they almost reach the other point and have the same size. Label the points they intersect at as D and E. # Draw a straight line between E and D. This line is the perpendicular line. This method can also be used to draw a perpendicular bisector, if the ends of the line you wish to bisect are labelled as points B and C.
i don't know u tell me
It is impossible to draw a straight line.
To draw a line parallel to line MN, you can use a straightedge and a pencil. Start by marking a point anywhere on the paper and label it as point A. Then, place the straightedge on point A and line MN, ensuring that the straightedge is parallel to line MN. Next, draw a line extending from point A along the straightedge, and this new line will be parallel to line MN.
Draw a line. Draw a perpendicular to that line then a perpendicular from that one.
To construct an angle bisector using a straightedge and compass, follow these steps: First, place the compass point at the vertex of the angle and draw an arc that intersects both sides of the angle. Next, label the points of intersection as A and B. Then, without changing the compass width, draw arcs from points A and B, creating two intersection points. Finally, use the straightedge to draw a line from the vertex to the intersection of the arcs, which defines the angle bisector.
To construct parallel lines, one key step is to use a straightedge to draw a base line. Then, using a compass, mark equal distances from a point above or below the base line. Finally, keeping the compass width consistent, draw arcs from the marked points and connect the intersections with a straightedge to create the parallel line.
Are you answering a crossword for geometry? The answer is a straightedge.
True APEX :)

A straightedge is a tool used to draw straight lines or to check the straightness of edges. To use it, place the straightedge on your paper or surface, aligning it with the points you want to connect. Use a pencil or pen to draw along the edge for a precise line. It's important to ensure the straightedge is stable and held firmly to achieve an accurate result.
Yes, it is possible to trisect a line segment using a straightedge and compass. To do this, you can first draw two circles with the endpoints of the segment as centers and a radius equal to the length of the segment. By intersecting these circles and connecting the intersection points, you can create a series of segments that can be divided into three equal parts, effectively trisecting the original line segment.
To create a line segment that's twice as long using a compass and straightedge, first draw the original line segment ( AB ). Next, extend the segment by marking a point ( C ) such that ( AC = AB ) using the compass to measure the length of ( AB ). Finally, draw a line from point ( A ) to point ( C ); the new segment ( AC ) will be twice the length of the original segment ( AB ).
The compass is used to measure angles. The straightedge is used to draw a straight line. The two items together, are used to measure and draw angles and lines in geometric drawings.
