Given are the steps to construct regular polygon of any number of sides. Arrange the steps.i.Draw the perpendicular bisector of AB to cut the line AP in 4 and the arc AP in 6ii.The midpoint of 4 and 6 gives 5 and extension of that line along the equidistant points 7, 8, etc gives the centers for different polygons with that number of sides and the radius is AN (N is from 4, 5, 6, 7, so on to N)iii.Join A and P. With center B and radius AB, draw the quadrant APiv.Draw a line AB of given length. At B, draw a line BP perpendicular and equal to AB

Geometrical Construction topics include: Parallel & perpendicular lines construction, drawing regular polygons and tangents, ellipse construction, parabola and hyperbola construction, cycloidal curves and spiral construction. Geometric construction is the process of creating geometric objects using a compass and a straightedge. It is a part of pure geometry, which does not use numbers, formulae, or a coordinate system.  Geometric construction involves drawing lines, line segments, shapes, circles, and other figures accurately using a ruler, a compass, or a protractor.  Related...
