Nine point circle
So my teacher told us to construct a nine point circle. I got all of the 9 points down but I'm not sure where I put my compass to make the circle itself. Any help?.

Nevermind I got it.
you can try to estimate the distance from each point.
(they're the same distance from each other and the center right?)
then slowly draw light lines to compare and make corrections later.
ya, i never heard of a "nine" point circle
And I can only using a compass and pencil.
can you try to use a ruler to measure the two opposite sides? like, try to draw lines going from the top to the bottom and left to right.
then, where the two lines intersect is where your compass should go.
What's a nine point circle?
