Term: Compass
Definition: Tool used to draw circles or arcs with a fixed radius. It consists of two legs, one with a pointed end for anchoring the center of the circle and the other with a pen or pencil attached to draw the circle. By adjusting the distance between the two legs, the radius of the circle can be changed. Compasses are commonly used in technical drawing, engineering, mathematics, and art to create precise geometric shapes and curves.
