Extra Practice 1: Copy this drawing You will need to use the Arc option when drawing the
polyline. Try to draw it as one line, but if you have trouble, draw two polylines and join
them. After drawing it, use the Spline option of PEDIT to change the polyline. Once you
have the spline, use the Decurve option.
Extra Practice 3: Copy this drawing. The centre line in the middle indicates that both
halves are the same. Create one polyline, then offset it to get the smaller one.
