Instructions:
Draw the following object knowing that the line AB is divided into 5 equal portions.
Keep the construction layer on so as your drawing will look similar to the object
shown below.
Find the following with precision of 4 decimal points:
1. The length of arc C.
2. The length of arc D.
3. The length of Line E.
4. The shortest distance between the smallest circle and the hexagon.
5. The shortest distance between the hexagon and the octagon.
