A compass ( or pair of compasses ) is a technical drawing instrument that can be used for inscribing circles or arcs .

A compass ( or pair of compasses ) is a drawing tool that can be used to draw circles or arcs , parts of circles .


Distances can be measured on a map using compasses with two spikes , also called a dividing compass .

Distances can be measured on a map using dividers , compasses with two spikes .


The most rigorous definition of this abstract tool is the `` collapsing compass '' ; having drawn a circle from a given point with a given radius , it disappears ; it can not simply be moved to another point and used to draw another circle of equal radius ( unlike a real pair of compasses ) .

That is , unlike a real pair of compasses , it can not simply be moved to another place and used to draw another circle that is the same .


Circles can be made by fastening one leg of the compasses into the paper with the spike , putting the pencil on the paper , and moving the pencil around while keeping the hinge on the same angle .

Circles can be made by pressing the leg with the spike into the paper , putting the pencil on the paper , and moving the pencil in the circle .


The hinge is set in such a way that the distance between the spikes on the map represents a certain distance in reality , and by measuring how many times the compasses fit between two points on the map the distance between those points can be calculated .

The distance between the spikes on the map shows a distance in reality .


Compass and straightedge constructions are used to illustrate principles of plane geometry .

Typically one part has a spike at its end , and the other part a pencil , or sometimes a pen .

One part has a spike , a sharp , pointy part at its end , and the other part has a pencil or a pen .


Compasses are usually made of metal or plastic , and consist of two parts connected by a hinge which can be adjusted to allow the changing of the radius of the circle drawn .

Compasses are usually made of metal , and have two parts called legs meeting at a hinge .


Although a real pair of compasses is used to draft visible illustrations , the ideal compass used in proofs is an abstract creator of perfect circles .

Real compasses are used on paper , but the perfect compass used in proofs is an imaginary , perfect tool that draws perfect circles .
