How to draw a circle without a compass

Well, when there is a standard set for drawing – ruler, pencil, compass, protractor, various triangles, by which you can draw on paper any geometric shape. However, if there is nothing suitable, and in this case it is possible to get out of the situation is enough to apply simple techniques that will help to implement the plan drawing.

You will need

• paper;
• pencil;
• the thread or rope;
• items round shape;
• - a needle, a nail, a peg.

Instruction

1. The easiest way to get a circle of any diameter is to use items circle theLOI form, which is usually enough. For the circleand the average diameter of suitable kitchen utensils – assorted plates, cups, discs, glasses and even pots. If you have a swivel chair, it is possible to use and its just enough to turn and circle on the paper. If the diameter required is less, as the basis of use of glasses, coins of various denominations, bottles.
2. If the shape of the right big size, here, not even a compass, and therefore it is necessary to make an improvised device. This makes it possible to draw a circle of any diameter, for example, for flower beds. Take a pointed peg and tie him to the rope. Insert the peg in the center of the alleged circle. If the figure on the pavement, we need the help of another person, which will hold the peg in the center. Measure the rope or a strong thread (you can on the wire) to the desired length (the radius). Tie in that place a new peg or a piece of chalk. Now holding it in her hand and slightly pulling the rope go round, leaving on the ground or pavement mark.
3. The same can be done on paper. To do this, take a needle, attach it to the thread and keep this fixture in the center of the circleand with one hand. Measure a length of thread, tie to the second end of a pencil or pen and lead in the round. Get the required geometric shape.
4. We can proceed a little differently. Take a sheet of paper and fold it along the length a few times to get a semblance of a line. Apply marks, which correspond to the radius of the circle. Take another sheet of paper and fold in half, then in half. Repeat this one more time. When you perform these steps, please note that the rolled paper in the form of a cone, that is, the type of fold paper for cutting snowflakes.
5. A long narrow cone put in front of him and make a mark. To do this, start an impromptu line align with the sharp part of the folded paper. This will be the center of the future figure. Measure with a ruler the radius of the circleand first one side of the cone, and then the other. Now perform the same action throughout the segment, which resembles a piece of cake. Obtained the points that mark as close as possible to each other, connect. Get a line in the form of an arc. Cut along the outline and unfold the paper, which will take the form of a circle. Prepared samples can circle on a clean sheet.
