Abstract

Among the regular polygons, the regular heptagon most certainly is Cinderella. Contrary to a triangle, a square, a pentagon or a hexagon, the heptagon is not constructible using compass and straightedge methods. In what follows, we will guide you through the proof of this non-constructibility.
