When constructing an inscribed polygon with a compass and straightedge, how should you start the construction?

Use a protractor to measure the original circle into four equal parts.

Use a ruler to find the length of the diameter and then make an arc above it.

Open the compass to the width of the circle and use that as a guide.

Place a point on your paper and then use a compass to construct a circle.
