We have to make a regular hexagon.

Solution:

Step 1: Place your compass point on the paper and draw a circle. 

Step 2: Place a dot, labeled A, anywhere on the circumference of the circle to act as a starting point.

Step 3: Without changing the span on the compass, place the compass on point A and draw a small arc intersecting the circumference of the circle.
