Question

#5) construct and write the construction for a regular hexagon

Answer 1

STEPS:
1. Place your compass point on the paper and draw a circle. (Keep this compass span!)
2. Place a dot, labeled P, anywhere on the circumference of the circle to act as a starting point.
3. Without changing the span on the compass, place the compass point on P and swing a small arc crossing the circumference of the circle.
4. Without changing the span on the compass, move the compass point to the intersection of the previous arc and the circumference and make another small arc on the circumference of the circle.
5. Keep repeating this process of "stepping" around the circle until you return to point P.
6. Starting at P, connect to each arc on the circle forming the regular hexagon.
