Point D is the center of the inscribed circle of A ABC. Which step can you use to draw the inscribed circle of A ABC?

A. Draw arcs of equal lengths intersecting AB,BC, and AC in two points each.
B. Draw the perpendicular bisectors of AB. BC. and AC that pass through point D.
C Label a point Eon AB and draw a line joining Ewith D.
D. Draw a line through D that is perpendicular to one of the sides, AB BC, or AC
E
Draw one arc each on AB and BC, and find their point of intersection,

Answer:

B. draw a perpendicular bisectors of AB,BC and AC that pass through point D.

Explanation:

the steps involves in constructing an inscribed circle includes:

a. construct a angle bisector of each angle (<ABC, <BAC, <ACB)of the triangle to locate the center. this is equally the same as using a perpendicular bisectors for each sides of the triangle.

the three sides perpendicular will meet at a point called point D, this point is the incenter, which is the center if the inscribed circle,

then, a compass can be use to draw the circle from the point D across the three sides of triangle (at the perpendicular).
