Each type of polygon can be drawn by following specific steps. In order to construct polygons, it is important to know how to use various geometric instruments.
Constructing a polygon consists of combining different techniques using geometric instruments to create a figure.
Polygons are geometric figures, where all the points are located on the same plane. They are two-dimensional figures.
These are the main geometric instruments used to construct polygons:
-
ruler: A tool used to draw straight lines and measure distances;
-
set Square: A tool shaped like a right triangle, useful for drawing perpendicular lines;
-
compass : A tool used to draw circles, measure angles, and plot lengths;
-
protractor: A tool used for measuring angles in degrees.
