PROJECT: INSCRIBED POLYGONS
You've learned about the different parts of a circle, as well as regular polygons and their angle measures. You've also learned how to use a protractor to measure angles.
In this project, you will apply this knowledge to inscribe regular polygons in a circle. If a polygon is inscribed in a circle, all of its vertices touch the circle. Here is an example of an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle.
OBJECTIVES
Inscribe regular polygons in circles using a protractor, compass, and straight edge.
Materials
pencil and paper
protractor
compass
straight edge
