From random polygon to ellipse
Draw some random points on a piece of paper and join them up to make a random polygon. Find all the midpoints and connecting them up to give a new shape, and repeat. The resulting shape will get smaller and smaller, and will tend towards an ellipse.

ReplyDeleteIs there a rule for connecting the mid-points? If it's random, then this requires some purposeful choosing.
ReplyDeleteThe rule is connecting consecutive midpoints. In other words, if you have two edges that meet at a vertex, then you join their midpoints.
