Dodecagon Construction and Tesselation
| Step 13: The twelve points on the circle define a 12-sided regular polygon, or dodecagon. |
|
| Step 14: Draw a circle of radius r=R/2, centered on the first point. Draw lines from the center to the twelve outer points, and mark the intersection of those lines and the inner circle. |
|
| Step 15: A second dodecagon is inscribed within the first one. |
|
| Step 16: Draw a circle of radius r centered on any inner dodecagon point. |
|
| Step 17: Draw another circle of radius r, centered on the next inner dodecagon point. |
|
| Step 18: Continue the process until all inner dodecagon points have circles of radius r on them. |
