Answer:

Explanation:

To circumscribe a circle to a given triangle implies constructing a circle outside the triangle, so that it touches the three vertices of the given triangle externally.

The step requires bisecting two sides of the triangle so as to locate the center of the circle. Then with the center and one of the edges, draw a complete circle. The circles should be outside the triangle and passing through its three vertices.

The construction is as shown in the attachment to this answer.
