It is called a drawing compass. (And it's very handy as long as your hand doesn't slip as you turn it!)

How do draw a circle with a compass?

To draw a circle with a compass, first set the distance between the point and the pencil of the compass using a ruler. This distance is the radius. Now, place the point on the paper where you want the center of the circle. Spin the compass around the point, lightly dragging the pencil on the paper, and you will have a circle.


What tool do you use to draw a circle?

It is called a compass. No, not like the kind with North, West, etc. but the math type. In most cases, you might hold your finger down in a certain place on the compass to keep it steady, then put a sharp pencil in a little hole (the closer to the center, the smaller your circle), and draw a circle with the pencil still in the hole. Hope this helps!


How can you use a compass to draw a circle if you know its raduis or diameter?

If you know the radius place the compass point on a ruler and the pencil end the radius distance away from it. Then put the point on the paper and spin to draw the circle. If you know the diameter divide by two to get the radius and place the compass point on a ruler and the pencil end the radius distance away from it. Then put the point on the paper and spin to draw the circle.

How do you make a compass with a magnetized nail and stringand plastic jar with lid and tape?

The idea is to draw a circle (two actually), using the ends of the paperclip to establish the radius of the circle, one pencil to anchor an end of the paperclip as the center of the circle, and a second pencil at the opposite end of the paperclip to draw the circle. Step by step, with the following diagram of characters, where the 'x' shows the place of the pencil that does not move, as the center of the circle, 'y' shows the place of the second pencil that moves to draw the small circle, and 'z' shows the place of the second pencil that moves to large small circle: (x______y)__z) # Place the paperclip on a piece of paper; # Put the first pencil inside the end of the paperclip that has just one loop ('x' above in the diagram). This pencil stays put, and is the center of the circle; # Put the second pencil inside either of the loops at the other end of the paperclip. Move this second pencil to draw a circle.

How do you draw a circle?

To draw a perfect circle you will need a drawing compass. To draw a circle you will need a pencil and paper. Starting at the top centre of the paper, place the point of the pencil. Curving around to either the right or the left which ever preferred Guide the pencil all the way around to the starting position making sure that it is symmetrical all the way round. There you have your circle. You may want to use a drawing compass to assist you in drawing a perfect circle. If you do not have a drawing compass you can improvise with a thumb tack and some string. Tie one end of the string to the tack and pin it where you want the centre of your circle to be. Tie the other end to your pencil. Keep the string stretched and move the pencil around the pin to draw a circle. You can change the size of the circle by changing the length of the string.
