Answer 1

A compass can draw a circle by creating a locus of points equidistant from a fixed point.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement is true. A compass, when used in geometry, is a drawing tool that can create a circle. To draw a circle, you place the compass at a fixed point called the center and set the distance on the compass to the desired radius. Then, keeping the distance the same, you rotate the compass around the center, creating a locus of points that are all equidistant from the fixed center point. This locus of points forms a circle.
