1) Using the LINE TOOL, draw the diameter through B.  Click on the LINE TOOL, then click on A, then click on B 2) Using the COMPASS TOOL, create a circle with radius AB and center point B Click on the COMPASS TOOL, then click on B, then click on A, then click on B 3) Using the POINT TOOL, mark point C as the other endpoint on the diameter of circle B This point SHOULD NOT BE purple, it should be grey. 4) Using the COMPASS TOOL, create a circle with radius AB and center point C  Click on the COMPASS TOOL, then click on B, then click on A, then click on C 5) Go clockwise around the middle circle starting from A, use the POINT TOOL, mark all points created on the middle circle as D, F, G, and H. These points SHOULD NOT BE purple, they should be grey. 6) Using the SEGMENT TOOL, draw a segment from point A to point D. 7) Using the SEGMENT TOOL, draw a segment from point D to point E. 8) Using the SEGMENT TOOL, draw a segment from point E to point C. 9) Using the SEGMENT TOOL, draw a segment from point C to point F. 10) Using the SEGMENT TOOL, draw a segment from point F to point G. 11) Using the SEGMENT TOOL, draw a segment from point G to point A. RESULT: Regular Hexagon ADECFG inscribed in circle B.
