Constructing a Hexagon

This video tutorial guides viewers through constructing a hexagon inscribed within a circle. It begins by locating the circle's center using a compass and drawing a circle with a specific radius. The circle is then divided into six equal sections, similar to constructing an equilateral triangle. The tutorial explains how to identify intersection points to form the hexagon's vertices. Finally, it demonstrates connecting these points with a straight edge to complete the hexagon.
