Question

To construct a hexagon inscribed in a circle, match the corresponding steps to the proper order. For example start with “1” as the first step and “6” being the last step, please.

Answer 1

Steps to construct a regular hexagon inscribed in a circle are given by:

Step 1

Draw a circle with center A and a point on the circle B.

Step 2

Measure AB with a compass to get the distance of the radius.

Step 3

Place compass on point B and draw another circle with the same radius.

Step 4

Mark the new intersection points C and D. Move compass to point C with the same setting and draw another circle with the same radius.

Step 5

Continue drawing the circles this way until you have 6 points of intersection.

Step 6

Connect all intersection points to form the hexagon.
