Make sure to keep the radius with your compass. Secondly, place the tip of your compass on the red dot. Draw an arc of a circle: to do this, keep the tip on the outline, and place the “pencil” part of the compass on the green dot.
The blue line represents the diameter of the circle.
Repeat the operation starting from another point on the outline of the circle.
