Geometry Tools Online

Introduction for geometry tools online:

Geometry tools online describes how to handle the geometry tools and its measurement uses. Geometry tools online such as protractor, divider, and compass which are complicated to measure and to draw. For that, we have to know some basic geometry knowledge and angles determination. Geometry tools online explains use and methods to measure.
A Geometrical instruments box contains a whole geometric tools and basic requirement for those who learn geometry.

Is this topic How to Find the Volume of a Hemisphere hard for you? Watch out for my coming posts.

Geometric tools online and its measure techniques are as follows:


Ruler:
Ruler is used to measure the length of line segment .Ruler has one edge is graduated in centimeters and the other edges with inches. A ruler is used to draw neat lines and to measure the length of the line segment.

Compass:
Compass is used to draw a circle with a given measurement of its radius and a line segment. We can also construct the angles for given measures with the help of compass. There is a provision given for compass to insert a pencil.

Divider:
It is used to measure the length of a line segment and to compare the lengths of two given line segments.

A pair of Set – Squares:
They are used to construct perpendicular lines and parallel lines. One set-square has 30° - 60° - 90° angles at the vertices and the other has 45° - 45° - 90° angles at the vertices.

Protractor:
A protractor’s curved edge is graduated into 180 equal parts. Each line part is equal to one degree.The semi circle line graduation starts from 0° on right hand side and ends with 180° on left hand side and vice versa. A protractor is used to construct and to measure given angles.

To construct almost accurate figures remember the following :

In the instruments box all the instruments should have fine edges and tips.
It is better to have an eraser and two pencils in the box, so as to use one pencil with compass for inserting in it and the other to draw lines and mark points.
Always draw thin lines and mark points lightly.
