- Even with these strict rules, the Greeks were masters of constructions. One of the easiest constructions is to form the perpendicular bisector of a line segment. They also were able to inscribe regular polygons of many different side lengths inside a circle. The first several of these side lengths are 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, and 20. German mathematician Karl Friedrich Gauss (1777 - 1855), a great prodigy at an extremely young age, was able to determine mathematically which regular polygons were possible to construct and which were not.
