Question

How can I draw an equilateral triangle using compass?

Answer 1

1. Place your compass point on A and measure the distance to point B. Swing an arc of this size above (or below) the segment.2. Without changing the span on the compass, place the compass point on B and swing the same arc, intersecting with the first arc.3. Label the point of intersection as the third vertex of the equilateral triangle.

Answer 2

Draw a line segment of some length. Take the length using a compass and draw an arc from both its ends. Join both ends to the point of intersection of the arcs..
