1. | ![]() | Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | |||
2. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed octagon (regular 8-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing up. | |||
3. | ![]() | Draw the eight diagonals of octagon 2, from each angular point to every third angular point, as shown. | |||
4. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed square of circle 1, with horizontal and vertical sides. | |||
5. | ![]() | Draw the eight diagonals of the octagon enclosed by diagonals 3, from each angular point to every third angular point, as shown. | |||
6. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed circle of (the octagon enclosed by) diagonals 5. | |||
7. | ![]() | Copy circle 6 to the top of octagon 2. | |||
8. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 7 at the upper side. | |||
9. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed square of the circumscribed circle of the octagon enclosed by diagonals 3, with horizontal and vertical sides. | |||
10. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the mid-point of the righthand side of square 9, tangent to circle 6 at the righthand side. | |||
11. | ![]() | Copy circle 10 to the center of circle 1. | |||
12. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed circle of the octagon enclosed by diagonals 3. | |||
13. | ![]() | Copy circle 12 to the lower intersection of circle 7 and the vertical centerline. | |||
14. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 13 at the upper side. | |||
15. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the mid-point of the upper side of square 9, passing through the upper intersections of diagonals 5, as shown. | |||
16. | ![]() | Copy circle 15 to the upper intersection of circle 8 and the vertical centerline. | |||
17. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 16 at the lower side. | |||
18. | ![]() | Circles 6, 8, 11, 14, and 17, diagonals 3, and square 4, together, make up the final reconstruction. pdf-file | |||
