| dc.description.abstract | The solutions of geometric construction problems have always intrigued me. The simplicity of the problems can frustrate the begining geometer. Much to the suprise of most mathematicians, algebra plays a fundamental role in the understanding of the solutions. This paper analyzes the properties of a construction tool called the Mira. Also included is a discussion of constructible polygons a Mira can construct. Later compass and straightedge constructions in the hyperbolic plane are discussed. | |
