Which of the following best describes the term constructions in geometry?

A. Combining two or more figures together to create a new figure or shape.

B. A way to draw precise figures using a compass and a straightedge.

C. Creating a figure or shape by hand.

D. Places where things are being built that often slow down traffic.

The answer to this question is B. A way to draw precise figures using a compass and a straightedge.

Explanation:

Geometry is a sub-field of mathematics that studies figures, lines, angles, and related features. In this, the term "construction" describes the creation of figures by using a straight edge such as a ruler, a compass (object to draw circles or arcs and measure distances), and a pen, pencil, or similar instrument to draw. For example to draw or construct a circle a compass is mainly used while the construction of a hexagon requires a straight edge and compass. According to these ideas, the correct answer is B.
