Geometrical Construction topics include: Parallel & perpendicular lines construction, drawing regular polygons and tangents, ellipse construction, parabola and hyperbola construction, cycloidal curves and spiral construction. Geometric construction is the process of creating geometric objects using a compass and a straightedge. It is a part of pure geometry, which does not use numbers, formulae, or a coordinate system.  Geometric construction involves drawing lines, line segments, shapes, circles, and other figures accurately using a ruler, a compass, or a protractor.  Related...
