Geometric Constructions and Techniques

The video tutorial demonstrates various geometric constructions using a compass. It covers copying line segments and angles, bisecting line segments and angles, and creating perpendicular and parallel lines. Each section provides step-by-step instructions on how to perform these tasks accurately using a compass as a measuring tool.
