Question

to divide a line into eight equal parts using compass​

Answer 1

Answer:

Start with a line segment AB that we will divide up into 5 (in this case) equal parts. From point A, draw a line segment at an angle to the given line, and about the same length. The exact length is not important. Set the compasses on A, and set its width to a bit less than one fifth of the length of the new line.
