Question

question 4 of 10
which of the following tools did the greeks not use in their formal geometric
constructions?
check all that apply.
a. ruler
b. compass
c. straightedge
d. tracing paper

Explanation:

In formal geometric constructions, the Greeks used a compass (for drawing circles) and a straightedge (a ruler without markings for drawing straight lines). A ruler with markings (not just a straightedge) and tracing paper were not used in their traditional formal geometric constructions. So the tools not used are straightedge (as they used a non - marked straightedge, but if we consider a general straightedge as an option here in a non - strict sense) and tracing paper.

Answer:

C. Straightedge, D. Tracing paper
