1. Regular Octagon
1. Divide the circle into 8 equal sections by drawing 4 evenly spaced diameters.
2. Connect the 8 points where the diameters intersect the circle's circumference to
form the octagon.
3. The resulting octagon will have its vertices touching the circle's circumference.
4. The sides of the octagon will be tangent to the circle.
5. The diameter of the circle will be equal to the length of one side of the octagon.
This will ensure the octagon is the largest regular polygon that can be inscribed
within the circle.
Characteristics :
• 8 sides.
• 8 angles.
• All sides and all angles are equal.
• A total of 20 possible diagonals.
• Interior angles that equal a total sum of 1080°
• Each interior angle equals 135°
• Exterior angles that equal a total sum of 360°
• Each exterior angle equals 45°
2. Regular Hexagon
1. Divide the circle into 6 equal parts by drawing 6 radii from the center to the
circumference, spaced 60 degrees apart.
2. Connect the points on the circumference where the radii intersect to form the 6
sides of the hexagon.
3. The key steps are dividing the circle into 6 equal parts and then connecting those
points to create the hexagon. This ensures the resulting shape is a regular
hexagon inscribed within the circle.
Characteristics :
• It has 6 vertices.
*Radii : Synonyms of radius. Definition - a line segment extending from the center of a circle or sphere
to the circumference or bounding surface.
