HOW TO CONSTRUCT THIS TOOL:

Hexagon (by one side)-

Given segment AB,
Construct a circle centered on point A with radius AB.
Construct a circle centered on point B with radius BA.
Label one intersection os circle A and B, point O
Construct circle Z with radius OA.
Label intersection of circle B and circle Z, point C.
Construct circle C with radius CB.
Label new intersection of circle C and circle Z, point D
Continue process around circle Z constructing points E and F
Construct segments BC, CD, DE, EF, and FA.
AB=BC=CD=DE=EF=FA
Therefore we have constructed Hexagon ABCDEF, using one side, AB.
