Drawing regular polygons with geometer's sketchpad #1
Geometer's sketchpad is an application that allows you to draw many different drawings using geometrical tools.
Drawing regular polygons with geometer's sketchpad #3
This time, I drew a (you guessed it) pentagon. This was harder to make but I managed to pull it off.
These drawing are starting to get complicated

Since a regular heptagon is not constructible with a compass and a ruler, I skipped it and did an octagon instead.
It is extremely easy as all one has to do is bisect each side of a square

Since a regular nonagon can't be constructed with a compass and ruler, the next one is a Decagon.
The measurements are a bit off, but I don't know why as I did everything correctly

Since a hendecagon can't be constructed with a compass and straight-edge, I skipped it and constructed a regular dodecagon instead.
I bisected each of the Hexagon's 6 sides
Drawing regular polygons with geometer's sketchpad #8
Since a tridecagon, a tetradecagon, and a pentadecagon all can't be constructed with a ruler and straight-edge, I will be skipping all of them and moving on to the 16 sided polygon, or Hexadecagon.
If you can actually tell what's happening, I applaud you
