16. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 15 at the lefthand side. | |||
17. | ![]() | Draw a line between the center of circle 1 and the righthand intersection of circles 3 and 4, and extend this line upto the righthand side of circle 13. | |||
18. | ![]() | Draw a line between the center of circle 4 and the righthand intersection of circles 7 and 11, and extend this line upto the righthand side of circle 14. | |||
19. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the intersection of line 18 and circle 13, tangent to circle 11 at the near side. | |||
20. | ![]() | Copy circle 19, while mirroring it with respect to line 17. | |||
21. | ![]() | Copy circle 19, while mirroring it with respect to the horizontal centerline. | |||
22. | ![]() | Draw a line between the center of circle 6 and the righthand intersection of circles 14 and 21, and extend this line upto the lower righthand side of circle 19. | |||
23. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the lower righthand intersection of line 22 and circle 19, tangent to circle 13 at the near side. | |||
24. | ![]() | Copy circle 23, while mirroring it with respect to the horizontal centerline. | |||
25. | ![]() | Remove all redundant parts from circles 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 11, 12, 14, 19, and 20, such that... | |||
26. | ![]() | ...this pattern remains. | |||
27. | ![]() | Remove all redundant parts from circles 6, 7, 11, 12, 13, 14, 19, 21, 23, and 24, such that... | |||
28. | ![]() | ...this pattern remains. | |||
29. | ![]() | Repeat all necessary steps to copy and rotate patterns 26, and 28, together, seventeen times, with respect to the other angular points of polygon 2. | |||
30. | ![]() | Circle 16, and patterns 26, 28, and 29, together, make up the final reconstruction. pdf-file | |||
