Pentagons

© T Madas

•Start with the circumscribing circle

•Draw a diameter

•Draw the perpendicular bisector of that diameter

•Mark its intersection with the circle

•Bisect the radius as shown

•Draw arc as shown and mark its intersection with the diameter

•This is the required side length for a regular pentagon, which is circumscribed by the circle

Decagons

•To construct a decagon you need a regular pentagon first

•Bisect one of the sides of the pentagon

•Use the chord of the new arc produced to construct a regular decagon

•You can use this idea to constuct a dodecagon from a hexagon

•A 16 – sided regular polygon using an octagon

•An eicosagon from a decagon and so on
