HOW TO CONSTRUCT THIS TOOL:

Hexagon (by radius)-

,
Construct a circle centered on point O.
Construct a radius of circle O, Label inter section point A.
Construct circle A with radius AO.
Label intercessions of circle A and circle O points B and F.
Construct circle B, radius BA, label new intersection of circle O and circle B, point C.
continue process around circle O constructing points D, E, and F
Construct segments BC, CD, DE, EF, and FA.
AB=BC=CD=DE=EF=FA By definition of radius.
Therefore we have constructed Hexagon ABCDEF, using radius OA.
