Reconstruction of the Bishop's Sutton 9-05-2005 formation | |||||
1. | Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | ||||
2. | Construct the circumscribed octagon (regular 8-sided polygon) of circle 1, with the midpoint of one side coincident with the righthand intersection of circle 1 and the horizontal centerline, as shown. | ||||
3. | Construct the circumscribed circle of octagon 2. | ||||
4. | Draw the two rays from the center of circle 1 to the righmost two angular points of octagon 2. | ||||
5. | Construct the inscribed circle of the triangle formed by rays 4 and the rightmost side of octagon 2. | ||||
6. | Copy circle 5 to the righthand intersection of circle 3 and the horizontal centerline. | ||||
7. | Draw a line from the upper intersection of circles 5 and 6 to the right, parallel to the horizontal centerline. | ||||
8. | Construct a circle centered at the intersection of circle 1 and line 7, tangent to circle 5 at the near side. | ||||
9. | Copy circle 8 to the righthand intersection of circle 6 and line 7. | ||||
10. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 6, tangent to circle 9 at the far side. | ||||
11. | Copy circle 10 to the center of circle 9. | ||||
12. | Construct a circle centered at the intersection of the rightmost side of octagon 2 and line 7, tangent to circle 8 at the righthand side. | ||||
13. | Copy circle 12 to the righthand intersection of circle 11 and line 7. | ||||
14. | Circles 1, 3, 9 and 13 together make up the reconstruction of the formation. High resolution dwf-file | ||||
15. | The reconstruction of the Bishop's Sutton formation from 9-05-2005 is completed by colouring the area corresponding to standing... High resolution dwf-file | ||||
