Question

Look at the following diagram. Which is the next step in constructing an inscribed equilateral triangle?

1. Starting at point A, draw segments to connect every other arc marked on the circle.
2. Draw a diameter that includes point A.
3. Starting at point A, draw segments to connect every arc marked on the circle.
4. Draw a radius that includes point A.

Answer 2

1. Starting at point A, draw segments to connect every other arc marked on the circle.

Explanation:

To construct an inscribed equilateral triangle:

1. Draw a circle and mark point A on its circumference.
2. Place the point of a compass on point A and set its width to the radius of the circle (AC).
3. Being careful not to move the point of the compass, draw an arc intercepting the circumference.
4. Do not change the width of the compass. Place its point on the point where the arc intercepted the circumference and draw another arc intercepting the circumference.
5. Repeat until you have 5 arc intercepts.
6. Starting at point A, connect every other arc intercept with a line segment.
