1. What is the construction instruments?Unmarked ruler and compass
2. What is the theoretical foundation?Based on the first three postulates of Euclid's Elements
3. Why do we need a ruler and compass for geometric drawing?A ruler draws straight lines and a compass draws circles. These tools let us follow the basic rules of geometry to build shapes accurately. They are the building blocks for all other constructions.
4. How did artists like Leonardo da Vinci use geometric drawing?Leonardo da Vinci used geometric drawing to make his paintings look realistic and balanced. By drawing precise lines and circles, he could create proportion and depth in his art.
