Solution

Locate any point as a centre of the circle.

With the help of the ruler, measure the distance between the tip of the compass and the tip of the pencil as 2 inches.

Now with the tip of the compass at the centre and 2 inches as the radius, rotate the compass.

You will get a circle of radius of 2 inches.

You are given just a compass and a ruler which does not show any measurement on it. You see a circle on the cartesian coordinate plane. Call this circle ‘C’. You are required to construct a circle (call this circle ‘D’) concentric to circle C and with radius which is $\sqrt{2}$ times the radius of C. You do not have the value of ‘r’, the radius of C. Study the following steps carefully. Remember that the only thing you can do with the ruler provided is just draw a straight line. What is the first step to construct the circle ‘D’?
