Answer:

Dividers are one of the earliest and most basic types of mathematical instrument. In their simplest form, dividers consist of a jointed pair of legs, each with a sharp point. They can be used for geometrical operations such as scribing circles but also for taking off and transferring dimensions.

Explanation:

Used:

It is used in measuring the length of a line segment.

It can also be used in map reading, it measures the distance between two points on a map and that distance can be used to know the actual distance using a scale.

It can be used to divide a segment into several divisions of same length.

Dividers for craft use are often large devices made in iron, sometimes with a screw between the two legs in order to adjust and fix their opening. As a mathematical instrument, dividers are found on a smaller scale, typically made in brass with steel points, though more precious materials such as silver have also been used.

Although ancient examples have been recovered (for example, those found at Pompeii) the major stream of surviving instruments begins in the 16th century. By this period, dividers were available with a socket in one of the legs so that either a divider point or a crayon or pencil holder could be inserted. In the latter configuration, as a device for drawing circles, the dividers became a pair of compasses.
