Geometry is a fundamental branch of mathematics that deals with points, lines, shapes, and their properties. In this section, we will explore various tools that are essential for understanding and solving geometry problems.

Basic Tools

  • Compass: Used for drawing circles and arcs.
  • Protractor: Used for measuring angles.
  • Ruler: Used for measuring distances and drawing straight lines.
  • Set Square: Used for drawing right angles and perpendicular lines.

Advanced Tools

  • Geometer's Sketchpad: A dynamic geometry software that allows users to explore geometric concepts interactively.
  • Graphing Calculators: Used for plotting geometric figures and solving equations involving geometry.
  • Computer Algebra Systems (CAS): Used for symbolic computations and solving complex geometric problems.
