 Example of Geometric Constructions
Draw a square given the length of the side
• Draw line AB of required length
• At A, draw a line AE perpendicular to AB
• With A as a center and a radius AB, draw an arc cutting AE at D
• With centers B and D and radius AB draw arcs intersecting at C
• Join B to C and D to C

Draw a hexagon given the length of the side

• Draw a circle with center O and radius equal to the length of
the side
• Draw a horizontal line through the center cutting the center
at F and C
• With C as the center and radius equal to the length of the
side, draw arcs cutting the circle at B and D
• With F as the center and radius equal to the length of the
side, draw arcs cutting the circle at A and E.
Based on the fact that the radius of the circumcenter of the hexagon is equal to the
length of the side
Note labelling of points (A,B,C,D,…) 6
 Example: Drawing a Hexagon
