4. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the top, and passing through the upper righthand angular point of heptagon 2. | |||
5. | ![]() | Copy circle 4 six times, to the other angular points of heptagon 2. | |||
6. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the righthand intersection of the horizontal centerline and circle 1, and passing through its intersection with the nearest side of heptagon 2, as shown. | |||
7. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 6 at the righthand side. | |||
8. | ![]() | Circles 1, 4, 5, and 7, and lines 3, are used for the final reconstruction. | |||
