Abstract

We study the problem to determine all integers $n\geq4$ for which there exists the ruler-and-compass construction of the cyclic polygon whose sides are equal to $n$ given segments. The impossibility of such construction for $n=5$ is proved.

Keywords: Ruler-and-compass construction, cyclic polygon.
