How would you draw a circle of a given radius and circumscribe a regular pentagon about it using a scale and a compass. I cannot figure it out. I have checked the internet but cannot find anything valuable. Most of the sites are dealing with inscribed pentagons while the rest say to use a protractor.

The site which you have mentioned deals with inscribed pentagons not circumscribed pentagons. – MrAP Feb 11 '17 at 23:09

2Yes, sorry. Just realized that. Here is a reference that deals with circumscribed pentagons. It starts with the inscribed pentagon and is rather simple from there. – lulu Feb 11 '17 at 23:09
