Final answer:

A compass is a tool used in mathematics to draw circles by creating a locus of points a given distance from a fixed point, resulting in a circle.


Step-by-step explanation:

A compass is a geometric tool used in mathematics to draw circles. It consists of a fixed point called the center and a movable arm with a pencil called the radius. When the compass is used to draw all points a given distance from the fixed point, it creates a locus of points that form a circle. So, the statement is true.
