Answer:

<h2>This method cannot make any regular inscribed polygon such as a square.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The main reason why it won't work to other regular polygons is beacuse <em>the regular hexagon is the only polygon that its side is equal to the radius of the circumscribed circle.</em> That's why won't work to other regular figures.

Therefore, the answer is no, it won't work to other regulat polygons such as a square.

No, it cannot be used to create other regular inscribed polygons.

This plan only works with a hexagon. If you inscribe a square into a circle, the lengths of the sides will not be equal to the radius.
