  • In this quick video, I will show you how to divide any line into equal parts using your compass. A ruler can also be used instead of a compass to determine the equal parts on your drawn line. The line that you draw can be any measurement and any angle. Just make sure your line is long enough to accommodate the amount of parts and the measurement you use. It also doesn't matter if you use the opposite side of the line.

    can u plz tell how to inscribe a circle in hexagon..plz I have my exams coming up in 5 days...

    • @Wimmas

      If the hexagon is given, use the side length and draw a perpendicular bisector on one of the sides. This method will give you the middle point of your circle. Place your compass on that point and adjust it to the nearest side. Draw your circle and it should touch all your sides if you worked accurately.

    The point of the problem is that as soon as you pick up your compass it collapses. So this doesn’t work in that case.

    • @Wimmas
      @Wimmas  8 місяців тому +3

      Maybe use a better compass. This is a simple method, and even beginner equipment it works. Try tightening the screws a bit.

      @@Wimmas no I am saying the idea is that as soon as you pick up your compass it collapses, therefore resetting the radius. Its not that mine does, its that that is the “problem”. I might as well have a ruler if my compass doesn’t collapse when I pick it up. Which then makes this problem not really a problem.

      @Wimmas@@thecircusboy8856It does work, indirectly, because it is can be shown that any ruler and locking compass construction is equivalent to a ruler and non locking compass construction ( a compass that does not save width setting, or collapses when you pick it up). So it is sufficient to look at ruler and locking compass constructions.
      Chatgpt: The use of a ruler (straightedge without markings) and a collapsible compass in geometric constructions is indeed equivalent to the use of a ruler and a compass that does not collapse. This equivalence is established by a principle known as the Mohr-Mascheroni theorem.

      @@Wimmasi think what circusboy means is that the compass he is using, conceptually in his definition of 'ruler and compass', is more stringent. It has no memory or lock setting, so it collapses when you pick it up from the paper. While the compass you are using can lock the width setting. In any case , this is not a problem. You can use either compass.
      The Mohr-Mascheroni theorem shows that, while more cumbersome, it is theoretically possible to perform all the same constructions as a ruler and locking compass than with a compass alone, even if it collapses. This demonstrates the versatility and power of geometric principles regardless of constraints.

      @@maxpercer7119 Yes I was able to make this construction with and unmarked straightedge and a compass that isn’t locked in. However I am just pointing out that, while possible, the way to accomplish it is sightly different. Which makes this video useless.

      1) The explanation - a set of words that give full understanding to the viewer: Divided parts are equal because parts of an additional line are equal and cast rays parallel to each other because ruler 1 doesn't move and ruler 2 have straight edge. It is long and ugly. 🙂
      2) This example requires 2 rulers because it does not show the drawing of the second additional line parallel to the first additional line ontop of the dividing line. The second additional line of the same length and same set of parts will give a way of connecting parts together using only 1 ruler - straight ruler.

    • @Wimmas
      @Wimmas  Рік тому +2

      @ShellYoung using a straight edge or 2 rulers won't change the result. If this is such a big issue (ugly), then maybe my video is not for you, which is normal. Thanks for your input.

      ​@ShellYoung The lengthe of the second line is insignificant. It is just a path to put equal marks on. They are equal because the compass length.
      1 straight edge because one line at a time. This tutorial is fine. 👍🏾
