What is the difference between constructing a square and constructing a regular hexagon? The diameter of the circle is used for the square construction, but the radius of the circle is used for the regular hexagon construction. The radius of the circle is used for the square construction, but the diameter of the circle is used for the regular hexagon construction. The square will need two arcs along the circle, but the hexagon will need two arcs above and two arcs below the diameter of the circle. The square will need six arcs along the circle, but the hexagon will need two arcs above and two arcs below the diameter of the circle.

Intersecting secant-tangent theorem states that if a tangent segment and a secant segment are drawn to a circle from an exterior point, then the square of the measure of the tangent segment is equal to the product of the measures of the secant segment and its external secant segment.so to break it down: 1. pq acts as the tangent and ps as the secant with an intersection at p.sr = 21rp = 3x + 3pq = 4x + 4following to equation: tangent squared = the two segments multiplied by each otherso (4x + 4) ^ 2 = (3x + 3) • (21) simplifies to 16x^2 - 31x - 47 = 0 or (16x - 47)(x + 1) x = -1 or x = 47/162. pq acts as the tangent and ps as the secant with an intersection at p (again! )sr = 16rp = xpq = 15(15) ^ 2 = 16 • x225 = 16xx = 225/163. the interesting chords are proportional to each other so a ratio is possible to set up: ap dp 10 3 + x = = —— = pc pb 8 xcross multiple to get 10x = (3 + x)(8)x = 12
