    The document describes several geometric constructions: 1) To inscribe a circle in a regular polygon, bisect any two sides with perpendiculars to find the center. 2) To circumscribe a circle about a regular polygon, bisect two angles to find the center. 3) Several constructions are given to make one shape equal to another, such as making a triangle equal to a quadrilateral or pentagon. 4) Constructions are also provided to draw curves like a catenary, cycloid, and diagonal scale.
