Question

which tool is used to draw circles in geometric construction?
a. pencil
b. protractor
c. compass
d. ruler

Explanation:

• A pencil is a general - purpose writing and drawing tool but not specifically for drawing circles in geometric construction.
• A protractor is used for measuring angles, not for drawing circles.
• A compass has two arms. One arm has a pointed end (to fix the center) and the other has a pencil or pen - like end. By adjusting the distance between the two arms (radius), it can draw circles.
• A ruler is used for measuring lengths and drawing straight lines.

Answer:

C. Compass
