Geometry through drawing and measurement

H. S. Hall’s introductory course connects geometric ideas with practical exercises. It begins with drawing and measuring lines and angles, then moves through constructions involving bisection, parallels, perpendiculars, triangles, and quadrilaterals. Compasses, a protractor, and set squares are among the tools used, while informal explanations and measurement checks link each problem to its result. The book’s emphasis is on building clear mental pictures of geometric objects by working with them directly.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Beginning students seeking a hands-on introduction to geometry
  • Teens and young adults who want practice with geometric drawing and construction
  • Learners interested in using measurement to check geometric work

Book overview

A short preliminary course of practical and experimental work in geometry to give the beginning student clear mental pictures of geometric objects and constructions. Early chapters introduce easy exercises in drawing to illustrate definitions, measurement of lines and angles, and the use of compasses and protractor. Next come problems on bisection, parallels, and perpendiculars, followed by the use of set squares and the construction of triangles and quadrilaterals. Problems are explained informally, with the results verified by measurement.
