Chris Tisdell Video Tutorials

Geometry has long been a study of shapes, space, and the relationships between them. For centuries, the compass and straightedge have been iconic tools of this ancient discipline. But what if we asked a radical question: Can you do geometry without circles? Meet the parallel-straightedge, also known as a parallel ruler. Unlike the traditional single straightedge, this tool allows us to draw precise parallel lines with ease. It opens up a fascinating world of geometric exploration—without the need for a compass. https://mathomat.com.au/collections/a... So next time you pick up a ruler, remember—there’s a whole world of geometry waiting to be explored, no compass required.
