Today, the last orthogon, the bipenton. I left it until last because it was very complicated looking, and it did take more steps than I think any of the others took but it wasn't as bad as I thought.
First, start with your square. I find it easier to extend the vertical lines of the square when I draw it in anticipation of the finished orthogon.
Find the horizontal halfway point of the square.
Draw a diagonal line from the bottom left corner to the right halfway point.
Set your compass point on the right halfway point and your drawing point on the bottom right corner of the square. Arc up to meet the diagonal line.
Set your compass point on the bottom left corner of the square and the drawing point to where the arc meets the diagonal line and arc up.
With your compass at the same setting, put the drawing point on the bottom right corner of the square and arc up to meet the side of the square.
Draw a diagonal line from the bottom left corner and passing through the point where the two arcs meet.
Set your compass point on the right point of the new diagonal and the drawing point to the bottom right corner of the square and arc up.
Top off the bipenton.
