What happens here

Begin by placing the speed square against the drawn circle. Align one of its straight edges so that it is perfectly tangent to the leftmost point of the circle. Using the marker, draw a straight vertical line along this edge. Next, rotate the speed square 90 degrees and position it so another straight edge is perfectly tangent to the topmost point of the circle. Draw a horizontal line along this edge, ensuring it extends from the previously drawn vertical line to begin forming the first corner of the enclosing square.

Goal: Create two perpendicular lines tangent to the circle, forming a corner of the enclosing square.

Tools and materials

  • Marker — For drawing the lines on the whiteboard
  • Speed Square — To draw precise straight and perpendicular lines that are tangent to the circle's edges
  • Whiteboard with Circle — The surface on which the drawing is being performed
