INTRODUCTION
Geometric construction is the drawing of lines, angles, and shapes using only a pen or pencil, compass, and a straight edge. Also, it is a construction employing only straight edge and compasses or effected by drawing only straight lines and circle as opposed to mechanical construction.
Geometric construction helps us to study geometry because with the help of geometric construction, we can create angles, bisect lines, draw line segments, and all the geometric shapes.
