One semicircle is constructed with diameter and let the midpoint of
be
. Construct a point
on the side of segment
(closer to segment
than arc
) such that the distance from
to
is
, and that
is perpendicular to the diameter
. Three more such congruent semicircles are formed through multiple
rotations around the point
. Name the
endpoints of the diameters
,
,

,
in a circular direction from
to
. Another four congruent semicircles are constructed with diameters
, and that the distance from the diameters to the point
are less than the distance from the arcs to the point
. Connect
