Answer 2

Answer: Circumscribing can be done as a construction.

One figure must be a circle.

Circumscribing can be done as a construction.

Explanation:

If we circumscribe a triangle, square, hexagon etc we draw a circle that surrounds it and touches each of its corners. So one figure must be circle.

Therefore, circumscribing is one figure is drawn around the other.

Circumscribing can be done as a construction is also true, by using compass and straightedge we can construct it.

There are different steps for each and every geometric figure circumscribed.
