4.11 Drawing a Regular Pentagon
Dividers Method: Divide the circumference of the circumscribed circle into five equal parts with the dividers, and join the points with straight lines (Figure 4.35a).
)
4.35 Drawing a Pentagon
Geometric Method:
Step 1. Bisect radius OD at C (Figure 4.35b).
Step 2. Use C as the center and CA as the radius to lightly draw arc AE. With A as center and AE as radius, draw arc EB (Figure 4.35c).
Step 3. Draw line AB, then measure off distances AB around the circumference of the circle. Draw the sides of the pentagon through these points (Figure 4.35d).
