How to construct (draw) a regular hexagon inscribed in a circle with a compass and straightedge or ruler. This is the largest hexagon that will fit in the circle, with each vertex touching the circle. Ina regular hexagon, the side length is equal to the distance from the center to a vertex, so we use this fact to set the compass to the proper side length, then step around the circle marking off the vertices. A Euclidean construction.
