So the thing is im trying to memorize VESPR Shapes in order to be able to solve problems like so, and I need help with making circles like the second image that's in blue or using an x and y axis plane in order to memorize these and be able to solve those type of problems. Especially like the ones given in the top / first image. (180 , 120 , 109.5) Can you help me with this.
