Can you construct a regular 21-gon? 2016-03-08
From Peter:
hi, i know that if i use a compass to draw a circle, i can use the same setting to mark 6 intervals along the circle circumference, how would i go about marking out 21 equally spaced points around the circumference?

if there an online calculator i can us, or some other interesting trick?
