Straightedge

A straightedge or straight edge is a tool used for drawing straight lines, or checking their straightness. If it has equally spaced markings along its length, it is usually called a ruler. Straightedges are used in the automotive service and machining industry to check the flatness of machined mating surfaces. True straightness can in some cases be checked by using a laser line level as an optical straightedge: it can illuminate an accurately straight line on a flat surface such as the edge of a plank or shelf. A pair of straightedges called winding sticks are used in woodworking to make warping easier to perceive in pieces of wood. Three straight edges can be used to test and calibrate themselves to a certain extent, however this procedure does not control twist. For accurate calibration of a straight edge, a surface plate must be used. (Wikipedia).

Perpendicular Lines, Slope, Rays, and Segments | Geometry

This geometry video tutorial provides a basic introduction into perpendicular lines, slope, rays, line segments and right angles. Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other. Perpendicular Lines, Rays, and Line Segments intersect each other at right angles

Twelve Ways to Trisect an Angle – David Richeson

We all know that it is impossible to trisect an angle, right? It is impossible using only a compass and straightedge. But it is possible if we change the rules. For G4G12 we present a dozen ways to trisect an angle.

Dividing a Line into Seven Equal Segments (visual proof; straightedge and compass)

In a previous video, I showed how to decompose a circle into seven pieces each with the same area (https://youtu.be/KhfZK5IIK9E). Many people asked about a key step in that construction that I didn't include. So here I have animated the construction of dividing a line into 7 equal parts us
