I think this might be a candidate for /r/restofthefuckingowl
Is there a sub of how to draw gons with only a ruler and compass?
I'd do the fuck out of this.
There is a whole category of puzzles which is about meeting a certain objective with just a compass and a straight edge (like bisect a line or draw a regular polygon). So no measurements in any units (length or angles) can be used. You can use the compass to reuse a certain length from one place to another. It's actually very satisfying to solve. Even simple tasks can get quite involved. Just try trisecting an angle ;)
Oh ok.
my brain doesn't math like this at all
There is so much happening in this gif. I'd love to see this for other polygons.
Can I get this slowed down to .25x? D=
In the most complicated way possible... You could just draw a line, turn 72 degrees, draw another line the same length, and repeat 3 more times
Or you could just measure the angles
