Reconstruction of the White Sheet Hill 29-06-2016 formation | |||||
1. | ![]() | Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | |||
2. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed pentagon (regular 5-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing up. Number the angular points clockwise 1 - 5, starting at the top. | |||
3. | ![]() | Draw the five diagonals of pentagon 2. | |||
4. | ![]() | Draw the five diagonals of the pentagon enclosed by diagonals 3. | |||
5. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the mutual intersections of diagonals 4. | |||
6. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed circle of pentagon 2. | |||
7. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed pentagon of circle 6, pointing down. Number the angular points clockwise 6 - 10, starting at the lower angular point. | |||
8. | ![]() | Draw the five diagonals of pentagon 7. | |||
9. | ![]() | Draw the five diagonals of the pentagon enclosed by diagonals 8. | |||
10. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed circle of the pentagon enclosed by diagonals 9. | |||
11. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the intersection of the lower righthand diagonal 9 and the horizontal centerline, as shown. | |||
12. | ![]() | Copy circle 11 five times, to the angular points of pentagon 7. | |||
13. | ![]() | Construct the circumscribed circle of the pentagon (passing through its angular points), enclosed by the upper side of pentagon 7, by diagonals 1-3 (from angular point 1 to angular point 3) and 1-4, and by diagonals 7-9 and 8-10. | |||
14. | ![]() | Copy circle 13 to the center of circle 1. | |||
15. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the intersection of the upper side of pentagon 7 and the vertical centerline, tangent to circle 13 at the upper side. | |||
16. | ![]() | Copy circle 15 to the top of pentagon 2. | |||
17. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 16 at the upper side. | |||
18. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the upper, and passing through the lower intersections of circle 16 and the vertical centerline. | |||
19. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 18 at the upper side. | |||
20. | ![]() | Copy circle 15 to the upper intersection of circle 18 and the vertical centerline. | |||
21. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 20 at the upper side. | |||
22. | ![]() | Circles 5, 10, 12, 14, 17, 19, and 21, and pentagon 2, are used for the final reconstruction. | |||
23. | ![]() | Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. pdf-file | |||
24. | ![]() | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... pdf-file | |||
25. | ![]() | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the White Sheet Hill formation of 29-06-2016. pdf-file | |||
