Answer:

To use the Radius measure, mark the vertexes of the inscribed polygons

Explanation:

Assuming our first step is a Circle already drawn in the sheet.

Since inscribed polygons are regular ones. We will use the radius of the circle as the measure to mark on the circumference as many times as the vertexes of our inscribed polygons have: six vertexes for hexagons, or dodecahedron, its multiple polygons

In case we want to construct a polygon like a square, or an octagon, we have to choose is to measure the radius and mark with the needle in the center of the circle and the pencil on the circumference too, 4 points.

So basically that's the principle the Radius is our parameter to measure the sides of our inscribed polygon.
