The Mohr-Mascheroni theorem says anything constructible with ruler and compass can be built with what alone?

AA protractor
BA ruler
CA set square
DA compass
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. A compass
1. The theorem covers constructions where data and results are discrete points. 2. In that case the compass alone is enough. 3. A ruler alone cannot find a midpoint or take a square root. _Source: Wikipedia, Straightedge and compass construction, section Constructing with only ruler or only compass_
