How do I draw nice looking sevensided and fivesided polygons, for use in structural formulas?

Just sit down and practice for a few minutes until you can draw them well. At first you can try drawing a circle first and inscribing the polygons within the circle.

Hmm... well if you're allowed to use a protractor and ruler it shouldn't be difficult. Use the protractor to make sure your pentagone has uniform 108Âșangles and sides of equal length.
