Drawing the circumscribing circle Draw a circle with the diameter set to the A/C distance. © J Lewis 2004
Drawing the hexagon sides at 60 ° Use a 60 ° set square to draw sloping lines within the circle, starting at the horizontal centre line. © J Lewis 2004
Completing the sloping sides Complete the remaining sloping sides as shown using the 60 ° set square. © J Lewis 2004
Completing the hexagon Complete the horizontal sides of the hexagon as shown. © J Lewis 2004
