Definition of Construction (Geometry)
Construction usually refers to the use of a compass and straight edge (ruler) to make an accurate drawing of a shape, line or angle.
For example, you can use constructions to draw a hexagon, to find the perpendicular bisector of a straight line, or to bisect an angle.
Less strict rules for constructions might allow you to use set squares or protractors.
