Construct a regular heptagon
are you asking how to construct one?
Yes
if you use a protractor it is easy (central angle of each side is 51.43 deg I think it is not possible with ruler and compass
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructible_polygon this page confirms that it is nor possible
it is possible. But you need to do it like this. 1) Find the central angle (this is just 360/number of sides) 2) Use a protactor and outline these angles from the centre. 3) Draw and circle and have those angles connect with the circle 4) Join the points |dw:1462530619000:dw|
|dw:1462530769576:dw| So you want to find the central angle (i.e. the size of each angle cut by the spokes that will form the edges of the polygon), then measure them out from a circle centre and join the pts
