How to draw a circle in technical drawing can be very easy. But when it comes to dividing the circle into 5 equal parts, it can be a little different if you don’t understand how to go about it. However, the videos below will show you the different methods of dividing a circle into 5 […]

In my previous post, I talked about how to draw a common internal tangent to two equal circles. This video will be the opposite as I’ll be showing you how to draw a common external tangent to two unequal circles. To make it easier, I’ve done a step-by-step video that will guide you on how

Drawing of a common internal tangent to two equal circles can be well understood using a video guide. To make it easier, I’ve done a step-by-step video that will guide you on how how to draw the circles, semi-circle, construct the line, and finally draw the tangent. Below is the video. If you have any

If you’re reading this post, that means you’re interested in knowing how to draw a tangent and normal to an ellipse and you probably know how to draw an ellipse itself. If not, kindly check my tutorial on how to draw an ellipse using any of the four methods shared. Once you know how to

Drawing an ellipse is very simple provided you understand the steps of how to draw an ellipse. Ellipse is a curved plane figure with curves. Based on the shape of the ellipse, we have the major axis which is the longer diameter, and the minor axis which is the shortest diameter of the ellipse. There

An octagon is a polygon with 8 sides. It can either be a regular octagon or an irregular octagon. A regular octagon is one having all the sides equal which is what I’ll be explaining in this tutorial. Let take the length of the side to be 5cm. Note: Irrespective of the length, the steps

A decagon is a polygon with 10 sides. It can either be a regular decagon or an irregular decagon. A regular decagon is one having all the sides equal which is what I’ll be explaining in this tutorial. Let take the length of the side to be 4cm. Note: Irrespective of the length, the steps

To divide a circle into 10 equal parts, you can either use your compass or protractor for the division. Here I’ll be explaining using a protractor:  Step 1: Draw the given circle Step 2: Draw a diameter to the circle. That is a line from one part of the circumference to the opposite side passing

To divide a circle into 9 equal parts, you can either use your compass or protractor for the division. Here I’ll be explaining using a protractor:  Step 1: Draw the given circle Step 2: Draw a radius to the circle. That is a line from the center to any point on the circumference Step 3:

In drawing a circle inside a triangle, also called how to inscribe a circle in a triangle to touch the three sides of the triangle. The method I’ll be sharing with you works with any type of triangle either equilateral, scalene, right-angle triangle, etc. To get started, make sure you have your drawing tools. You
