Geometer's sketchpad- archimedean method

[Sangeeta Gulati]

Iam trying to estimate value of pi using archimedean method with GSP. Ihave worked out the way to make inscribed polygons with iteration etc., but I can't get the circumscribed polygons. Please suggest the possible method.

Hi Sangeeta,

This appears to be a duplicate of the question you posted last month, and which I answered. You emailed me to say that you were able to complete the construction that I suggested.

I suspect your new email was sent by accident. Please let me know if you have any other questions about the Archimedean construction.

Yes, I have successfully completed the construction as per your suggestions. This post has come up on its own- I can't understand how!!
Thanks anyway.
