You can put this solution on YOUR website! It is possible to construct a circle with a compass and a straight edge. Use the straight edge, or ruler, to measure 4 inches and adjust the compass to that length. A compass works by fixing one point to the page, while the other swings freely. The point that moves circles the point making a 4 inch circle. Hope this helps.
