When constructing an inscribed polygon with a compass and straightedge, how should you start the construction? Use a protractor to measure the original circle into four equal parts. Use a ruler to find the length of the diameter and then make an arc above it. Open the compass to the width of the circle and use that as a guide. Place a point on your paper and then use a compass to construct a circle.
