Given three segments of length 1, a and b in the plane, how can one construct segments of length a+b, |a-b|, ab, a/b, √a using ruler and compass? Which other calculator functions can be performed by geometric construction?

M*a can also be constructed for any rational number M, as well as expressions like 29%a.
