One semicircle is constructed with diameter and let the midpoint of be . Construct a point on the side of segment (closer to segment than arc ) such that the distance from to is , and that is perpendicular to the diameter . Three more such congruent semicircles are formed through multiple rotations around the point . Name the endpoints of the diameters , , , , , in a circular direction from to . Another four congruent semicircles are constructed with diameters , and that the distance from the diameters to the point are less than the distance from the arcs to the point . Connect , , , , and .
