Abstract

We sometimes encounter the problem to inscribe a regular pentagon in a given circle. Many of us have learnt only one possible construction by heart without trying to justify it.

The aim of this paper is to alter this bleak reality: to present several constructions of a regular pentagon inscribed in a given circle together with proofs of their correctness.
