A compass draw a circle, draw a diameter line, mark the center of the circle point O. mark on the circle the point a and the midpoint of the segment OA point. Swipe to the radius OA, a perpendicular from the point On, it will cut the circumference at point D. Put the compass on the diameter of the segment CE is equal to ED. Get the segment DC is the side of a Pentagon. Set aside five such segments on the circumference of the Pentagon is ready. Connect the corners with diagonals.
