Step by step to make Semi-Regular Tessellation 1. Construct a circle using the circle tool.

2. Make a straight line connecting the centre point and the circle using the segment tool

3. Use the selection arrow tool deselect all by clicking anywhere outside the diagram. Select straight line AB and point A. Go to Construct tab and select Perpendicular line. Use the segment tool, connect point A and circle by following the perpendicular line.

4. Use the selection arrow tool, deselect all. Then select the circle and the perpendicular line. Go to Display tab and select Hide object.

5. Select line AC and point C. Go to Construct tab and select Perpendicular line. Then select line AB and point B. Go to Construct tab and select Perpendicular line.

6. Select both constructed perpendicular line, then go to Construct tab and select Intersection point. Label the intersection point as D. Select point C and D. Go to Construct tab and select segment. Select point D and B. Go to Construct tab and select Segment.

7. Use the Selection arrow tool, select both constructed perpendicular line. Go to Display tab and select Hide perpendicular lines.

8. Select point A, B, D and C. Go to Construct tab and select Quadrilateral Interior.

9. Deselect all. Double click point D. Select point C. Go to Transform tab and select Rotate. Rotate -60 degree and point C appear.

10. Repeat step 9 for every side of the square so that it look like the diagram.

11. Select point C, C and D. Go to Construct tab and select Triangle Interior. Select the triangle and go to Display tab select Color; change the color of the triangle into any other color.
