Describe at least two differences between constructing an inscribed regular hexagon and constructing an inscribed square.

 

As a result of the construction of the perpendicular line when constructing an inscribed square inside a circle, the line drops at a right angle that is 90 degrees WHILE when constructing an inscribed hexagon the six arcs marked give out straight lines that that meet at the center to form equilateral triangle with each angle of 60 degrees.

A figure having four congruent sides and an interior angle which is a right angle, is formed that is a square WHILE in hexagon 3 equilateral triangles with interior angles being 60 degrees each.

Diagonals of the square bisects each other to form a parallelogram and the diagonals of the formed parallelogram is congruent together with the diameter of the circle hence making a square WHILE the lengths of the sides of the formed equilateral triangles represents copies of the radius of the circle and   since all of the central angles (surrounding a point) must add to 360º
