Baker, Alfred, 1848-1942 · Toronto : Gage · leaf 126
ibe a hexa-gon in a circle is to measure off, with the di%iders,six chords in succession, each equal to the radius. Evidently the angle of a regular hexagon is 120®.* 121 122 Geometey. 2. If tangents to the circle be drawn atthe angular points of thehexagon ABCDEF, the tan- l^^—^^ gents form… … 3. If we wish to construct a regular hexagon withsides of given length, we describe a circle with radiusof this length, and in it inscribe a regular hexagon asin § 1. 4. To inscribe a regular octagon in a circle We may construct at thecentre eight angles, each of45, and join the ends ofconsecutive…
