How to draw the correct octagons

Presently huge distribution received Ancient Chinese art feng shui, considering the person and his world around as a unit. The feng shui seeks to harmonize as much as possible all spheres of human activity, using for this purpose a magic figure - the correct octagon of Bagua. Let's try to draw it.

It is required to you

  • - writing-book squared paper sheet;
  • - ruler;
  • - pencil or handle;
  • - compasses.

Instruction

1. Take the writing-book squared paper sheet, on the center of the sheet draw horizontal and vertical lines at an angle of 90 degrees to each other (we will call them conditionally axes of coordinates). On writing-book sheets the vertical and horizontal lines forming cages, just nacherchena at an angle of 90 degrees. Therefore it is very convenient to draw axes on cages.

2. Further draw a circle of any radius which center is the point of intersection of axes of coordinates. The circle divided into four parts will turn out. Now halve each quarter of a circle. For this purpose from the center of a circle (point of intersection of axes of coordinates) draw beams. They have to be located at an angle 45 degrees in relation to any of the adjoining axes.

3. It is easy to construct a corner in 45 degrees also without protractor. For this purpose recede from the center of a circle equal quantity of cages both across, and down. Accurately on cages draw the lines parallel to axes. The square will turn out. Now connect a point of intersection of axes of coordinates to opposite top of a square. Prolong the received diagonal up to crossing with a circle. Do this operation with other parts of a circle.

4. As a result at you the circle crossed by eight beams will turn out. Connect points of intersection of beams and a circle among themselves. The correct octagon is ready.

5. If you have no compasses – it does not matter. The algorithm of creation of an octagon slightly will change. For this purpose after creation of a conditional axis of coordinates draw the beams dividing in half the received four areas of a system of coordinates, following the above in a step to 3 recommendations. From a point of intersection of axes of coordinates by means of a ruler postpone pieces of identical length on each of the received eight beams. Connect around the ends of pieces by means of a ruler - the correct octagon will turn out.
