25. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the intersection of the righthand side of hexagon 2 and the horizontal centerline, tangent to the nearest sides of triangles 5. | |||
26. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 25 at the righthand side. | |||
27. | ![]() | Construct a "two-points" circle (defined by the two end-points of a centerline) between the lower intersections of circles 10 and 24 with the vertical centerline. | |||
28. | ![]() | Copy circle 27 two times, to the centers of circle 1 and the lower circle 18. | |||
29. | ![]() | Construct two lines, parallel to ray 3 nr. 4, tangent to circles 28 at both sides. | |||
30. | ![]() | Repeat steps 28 and 29 two times, with respect to rays 3 nrs. 2 and 6. | |||
31. | ![]() | Circles 1, 10, 12, 13, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 24, and 26, and lines 29 and 30, are used for the final reconstruction. | |||
