Time is of the essence!

15-06-2008 7:52pm#1Okay time is of the essence here so it would be very much appreciated if someone who is doing tech graph tomorrow could tell me if I definately need
a protracter. I was just doing a mental check list of what I have and I realised I dont have a protracter. And why is time of the essence you ask? Well aside from it being tommorrow,Tesco closes in 1 hour
So will I bother my arse sprinting down to Tesco or will I just leave it? It might have just been my teacher but we certainly never used a protracter all year,and I certainly didn't have to use one in the mocks. 0

GET ONE. You may need it, you may not, depending on the questions you do, if you pick a question that needs a protractor, you'll be damn glad you made the rush this evening and got it. My advice, have one, to be certain. Try calling a friend that might have a spare one. It MAY not be necessary for you in the exam but... are you willing to take that risk? I wouldn't

I dont actually think you could possibly get through the exam without one :eek: between scribing off measurements and doing ellipses by concentric circles and bisecting lines and angles....yeh u defo need one!
Im going to fail
:(
Goodluck peeps!0 -

Eh, i'm not suprised you'll fail if you use a protractor for bisecting! we don't generally use a protractor for the ellipse either... You're thinking of a compass I think, if so you're dead right you'll defo need a compass! I'm bringing in two, one with a light lead and one with a dark lead. 0 -

Well i'm sure you know that there are a number of different ways of constructing an ellipse. One method is the concentric circles method. Its where you draw a circle with a diameter of the minor axis and another with the diameter of the major axis. You then divide it up with the 30/60 degree set square and so on. Hope I'm making sense!0 -
