Circles and Hexagons

Taking a radius of two inches draw a circle.

Next place the compass on one edge of the first circle and draw another circle.

Again place the point of compass at the place where the second circle intersects the first circle likewise draw circles from every intersection. Join the points where the circles cross the edges of the first circle. Use a different colour a join the points. You will find a hexagon inside the first circle.
