it should be noted that this isn't actually a regular heptagon, this construction (I think usually attributed to Albrecht Dürer?) is just a good approximation of one. The actual construction of a regular heptagon requires either a marked ruler (which most people have nowadays!) or an angle trisector. It's pretty cool! lookup "Neusis construction" or Neusis construction heptagon" if you want to see how the construction works.
There's a universal method for constructing a regular k-gon with just a straightedge and compass, and the compass can of course mimic a marked ruler with equally sized circles touching one another's centres with their edges.
I just read on wikipedia that a regular heptagon cannot be constructed with a compass and a straight-edge. This is not true. Just draw a circle whose radius is seven units long(millimeters for example). Use the compass to inscribe a hexagon in the circle, and mark-off the seven increments on each edge. Draw a line from the center through a random point on the perimeter of the hexagon to transfer that point to the circle. Count six increments around the perimeter and transfer that point, and then six more and so-on until you've made 360 degrees. Once you connect the points on the circles edge, the result will be a septagon whose edges are six units long.

@@TheRojo387you can't construct a heptagon with straightedge and compass as demonstrated in the XVIIIth century
hiiii

I noticed he didn’t confirm the length at the bottom. Nor make all the lengths progressing CW. Or CCW
Thankyou so much well done great 👍🏻 work 😊
Thank you sir love from Bangladesh🇧🇩
This is so great, i managed to draw a hexagon
how did that happen
@@zrotate556 i have no clue
🙂😂🙂
Thank you very much, u saved me😭
I draw at the first time but its perfect🎉🎉
Thank you very much
Thank you you 👋and it's great work...
dude get with the program - it ain't working !
thanks. you helped me with my math homework :D

Why you did not continue at the END POINT?
because that is exactly the point, where you would see that it is not actually a regular heptagon, but only a (very good) approximation
thats so simple, it should be illegal

It's with NO MEASUREMENT
This man you are too fast
That is Not Accurate
