Question

Which one of these is not a step used when constructing an inscribed equilateral triangle using technology? (5 points)

Create a circle using the center with given point tool.
Use the compass tool to create three more circles, with the same radii as the first.
Connect the point with a line through the center of the circle.
Create another circle with the same radius as the original.

Answer 1

The step not used in constructing an inscribed equilateral triangle using technology is to create another circle with the same radius as the original. (Option D)

Step-by-step explanation:

The step that is not used when constructing an inscribed equilateral triangle using technology is to create another circle with the same radius as the original. The correct steps are:

1. Create a circle using the center with given point tool.
2. Use the compass tool to create three more circles, with the same radii as the first.
3. Connect the points with lines through the center of the circles, forming an inscribed equilateral triangle.
