Rules of Euclidean Constructions
In Euclidean constructions, five operations are allowed:
- Draw a line through two points
- Draw a circle through a point with a given center
- Find the intersection point of two lines
- Find the intersection points of two circles
- Find the intersection points of a line and a circle
The initial elements in a geometric construction are called the "givens", such as a given point, a given line or a given circle.

Famous quotes containing the word rules:
“Let’s start with the three fundamental Rules of Robotics.... We have: one, a robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. Two, a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. And three, a robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.”
—Isaac Asimov (1920–1992)
