Question

When constructing inscribed polygons, how can you be sure the figure inscribed is a regular polygon? A. Check the distance between the angles with a straightedge. B. Check the length of each side of the polygon with a compass. C. See if the diameter is the same as the length of the sides with a compass. D. There is no way to ensure you have constructed a regular polygon.

Answer 1

B. Check the length of each side of the polygon with a compass.

Explanation:

The right answer is -

Checking the length of each side of the polygon with a compass.

We can check by setting the width of the compass equal to one side of the polygon and check the distance between each pair of consecutive vertices.

If the width is same across all sides, then the side is the same length as the previous one.

Answer 2

A. Check the distance between the angles with a straightedge ✖
B.Check the length of each side of the polygon with a compass ✔
C. See if the diameter is the same as the length of sides with a compass✖
D. There is no way to ensure you have constructed regular polygon✖

Most likely, B. Check the length of each side of the polygon with a compass, would be your answer for this question
