Lay off chords on this circle equal inlength to AB, thus locating points C, D, E, and F. ABCDEFis the required hexagon. ^ ^ E ^ P D e; ^ ^. Given the distance across the flats to construct a regularhexagon. Let MN and RS be two Hnes representing the sides of a hexa-gon. Draw PQ perpendicular to MN and RS, and bisect it bythe perpendicular TL. The point 0 is the center of the inscribed circle of the hexagon. DrawOV making an angle of 60degrees with OQ. Draw alsothe inscribed circle VQP withO as a center and OQ as aradius. At V draw AF tan-gent to OV; AF is the lengthof one side of the requiredhexagon which may now beconstructed by any convenientmethod. Given the length of one side to construct a regular polygonof any given number of sides. Let AB be the given side and let it be required to draw a poly-gon with seven sides. With A as a center and a radius equal toAB draw the arc BOGP. Divide this arc into seven equal parts
