TO CONSTRUCT AND DRAW ANY POLYGON GIVEN THE LENGTH OF ONE SIDE/BASE
TO CONSTRUCT AND DRAW ANY POLYGON GIVEN THE LENGTH OF ONE SIDE/BASE
GUIDELINES:
1. 1. Draw the length of the given base “AB”.
2. Bisect the line.
3. Construct a square on base “AB”.
4. Draw a diagonal in the square and label “4” to cut the bisector of “AB”.
5. With center “B” and radius same as base/length of square, draw an arc cutting the bisector of “AB”, label arc intersecting at bisector “AB” “6”.
6. Bisect “4 and 6” to get point 5 (on the vertical bisector).
7. Take unit measurement (using divider/compass) of 4-5/5-6 and mark out the remaining points, 7, 8, 9, 10…
8. TO DRAW A PENTAGON
a. Take 5 as center and radius 5B or 5A and draw a circle.
b. Use base measurement AB and mark off round the circle.
c. Join the marked off points to form a pentagon.
9. TO DRAW A HEXAGON
a. Take 6 as center and radius “6B” or “6A” and draw a circle.
b. Use base measurements “AB” and mark off round the circle.
c. Join the marked off points to form a HEXAGON
10. TO DRAW A HEPTAGON TAKE 7 AS CENTER AND RADIUS “7B” THEN DRAW THE CIRCLE, REPEAT PROCEDURES IN STEPS 8 OR 9 AND SO ON…
