Yey, I've checked Maple out. That is some serious software.. You made it look easy. The square is not a cyclic quadrilteral, but A is touching the circumference. Points N and M touches the side of the square and circumference. Point P touches the circumference but not the square. Line CB is...- Campbell1982

Draw a Hexagon with Parallel Lines: 6-Sided Shape Drawing Homework
Thank you for your help mfb. I have drawn the hexagon and have attached a copy. I have labelled T and marked the right angle at N. I'm interested also in finding anything interesting about the circle. The only thing I can see really is the number of triangles produced inside of it and that it is...- Campbell1982

That Maple software looks pretty good as well, I think I may have to look at investing in that.- Campbell1982

I have been steering at this all day and I can't find anything special about the circle. The circle's centre isn't the centre of the square or triangle. The only thing I can think is there is a special relationship between the chords..- Campbell1982

LCKurtz, I have attached a more accurate drawing done by hand. Point N is not on the circumcircle on my drawing. The angle AMB is 31.7, the other two angles in that triangle at 90 degrees and 58.3. Looking at anything of interest within the circumcircle, I can only find that triangle AMP is...- Campbell1982

Thank you both for your help. I have attached a new version of the drawing (It's rough). I have calculated AMB as 30 degrees now, instead of 60 degrees. I'm glad point P is above the point d. I'm trying to eventually investigate the triangle of MPA and the circumcircle.- Campbell1982

Just to add to that previous statement, Point P is on the line AD (not line segment), but it is above point D.. which makes me think something has gone wrong.- Campbell1982

Hello DEvens, firstly thank you for helping me. I have redrawn the diagram using constructions but it has come out the exact same. I found the size of angle AMB to be 60 degrees, I'm not sure if that is correct though. The line of MP is perpendicular to NM and touches AD, but for line MP to be...- Campbell1982

Trying to solve a drawing task. The following has to be achieved: - Produce a Square (vertices of ABCD) - Cut line BC into two equal parts, label the point in between as M. - Draw a line between point M and A. - Divide angle of BMA into two equal parts. Label the location where the bisector...- Campbell1982
