For the PPl who consider themselves smart do you know how to...?

Question

how to make a geometry compass from things in your home..like tape, pencils, pens..or something...This info is much needed

Answer 1

actually you can make it from getting a small container, a magnet, and a needle. this is what you do: you fill the container up about half way, wet the needle but do not wet the magnet at all, then rub the magnet all over the needle (you may have to do this repeatedly throughout your use of the compass), and simply place the needle in the water in your container..

hope this helps =P

Answer 2

You'll still need a protractor to measure the angle.  Once you have that, something with a sharp point for the straight arm (a pencil or long needle, for example) and another pencil for the drawing arm, something to fasten them together and still allow you to adjust them (nail, s***w, nut and bolt...).  All in all, you'd be better off buying one.
