Question

How to make an equilateral triangle with a compass?

Answer 1

Hello friend,
-----------------------

Here is your answer,

Step 1 :

=> Take your ruler and a pencil and construct a segment of any length on a piece of paper.

=> Then, try to set your compass opening just as the length of segment AB.

=> Take your compass. Put the needle of the compass at endpoint A and adjust your compass so that the tip of your pencil touches end point B.

Step 2 :

=> Put the needle of your compass at A and draw an arc.

=> Put the needle of your compass at B and draw an arc.

=> The two arcs should meet at a point.

Step 3 :

=> Draw the segments from the two endpoints to the point where the two arcs intersect.

=> And you have your equilateral triangle.

Hope it helps you.
Thank you.

Answer 2
