We will construct a figure based on a hexagon. |
Draw the construction lines lightly because they will be erasedas the drawing progresses. |
First, construct a hexagon and draw perpendicular bisectors of its sides. | ![]() |
Next we construct a kite similar to those making up the hexagon. | ![]() |
Now we construct three kites congruent to the smaller one. | ![]() |
Repeating this process, here is the second stage of the construction. | ![]() |
Here we build the first kite of the third stage. | ![]() |
Now build three more kites congruent to this kite. | ![]() |
Repeat this process for another kite. | ![]() |
Next, fill in the gap that appears. | ![]() |
Continuing in this fashion we get the third stage. | ![]() |
Here is Robert Fathauer's drawing with many stages completed. | ![]() |
