If you are a kid you are going to get excited and if you are an adult you are to get nostalgic as in this segment we are going to deal with geometry box tools.
When we purchase our first geometry box every one of us was indeed excited and very much eager to use these tools quickly. In this article we are going to look at some of these tools with their pictures and description about their usage.
Tool and name of tool |
Description |
Compass | This tool has two legs one is pointed one and another one holds pencil. It is used to draw circles of various radiuses and cut arcs. |
Protactor | This tool is majorly used in geometry and trigonometry purposes. It have a semi circular disk that have angles mark on it so it can be used to calculate angles very precisely. |
Set square | This tool usually comes in pair in geometry box and we can see it have one right angle (90 degree) and acute and obtuse angle. Used in drafting straight lines and calculating angle with precision. |
Ruler | A straight edge tool having marking of centimeter on one and inches on other side. This tool is used to draw straight line and also calculating distance between two points with precision. They come in variable lengths. |
Compass Divider | This tool though looks like compass do have a difference. Unlike compass it’s both end are pointed while in compass only one end is pointed. It is used to measure the distance and then transfer the measurement. |
Sharpner | This tool is used to sharp the pencils. As we can see it have a blade so one needs to rotate the pencil to sharp it and it also have scratchy portion on both side which is used to smoothen the surface of pointed edge of the pencil. |
Pencil | This tool helps us to write things down. One good thing about pencil is that whatever we write from it can be erased in case it goes wrong. This luxury is not available with pen. |
Eraser | This tool is used to clear or erase the mistakes or non required part of writing often known as rough work. |
As we observed tools above one very important thing to remember is the safety that needed to be taken care of as some of the tools are pointed one and should be used very carefully.
