To draw a square, you can use a perpendicular and two arcs. First, draw a perpendicular line through point A. Then, with A as the center and AB as the radius, draw an arc to intersect the perpendicular at point C. With B and C as centers and AB as the radius, strike arcs to intersect at point D. Finally, draw line CD and BD.

To draw a pentagon, you can use a diameter and three arcs. First, bisect the diameter at point C. Then, with C as the center and CA as the radius, draw an arc to intersect the diameter at point E. With A as the center and AE as the radius, draw an arc to intersect the diameter at point B. Finally, draw line AB, then set off distances AB around the circumference of the circle, and draw the sides through these points.
