Geometry of positions doesn\’t use measurements as in classical geometry, instead it uses ratios, proportions, etc..
Just read this…

Now, let me learn to draw Polygons without using a protractor but with just a compass and a ruler (without measurements)!

 
By the way, none of the below polygon constructions was looked up.. It is my own excursions
It was super fun… I love geometry…
 

Next on the list is to construct a pentagon and then a heptagon..

 
I was told drawing a Heptagon like this (with this means) is near to impossible…
 
I will have to try out and understand why…thats the fun part isn\’t it?! 😁
