Hi,

I have to use the turtle to make the drawing below, I don't know how to go about it:

Thank you for your help. Smile
How would you go about drawing this yourself?

It would appear that there is a big circle in the center with four smaller circles. Each smaller circle looks like it is half the diameter of the bigger circle. If you were to draw a square around the big circle and diagonals from the corner of the square, the place where the diagonals intersect the big circle is the center of the new smaller circle. This same pattern is repeated again for the smaller circles, and once again for the smaller circles of the smaller circles. It would appear to be a recursion. Each time you draw a circle you draw four smaller circles. This could go on forever, but in the pattern show it stops after 4 levels (5 different sized circles)

Start by drawing the big circle in the middle of the page and four surrounding circles.
