A compass, in the context of drawing and drafting, is a tool used to create arcs, circles, and angles. It consists of two arms: one with a pointed end (the pivot point) and the other with a pencil or drawing implement attached. By fixing the pointed end at a specific point on paper and rotating the pencil end around that pivot, users can draw accurate circles or portions of circles. Compasses are commonly used in mathematics, geometry, engineering, and various artistic applications.
