Construction of rectilinear figures using straight edge and compasses are dealt with prime importance in geometry. Three independent conditions (Data) are required to construct a scalene triangle. Similarly five independent conditions are required for constructing a quadrilateral. This paper deals with the conditions required to construct an irregular polygon having ‘n’ sides.
