Question

Select the correct answer.

Rachael is giving a geometry test and wants to draw a regular polygon. Which geometric figure will help her to get such a geometric figure?

A.
a circle
B.
a square
C.
a triangle
D.
a rectangle
E.
a parallelogram

Answer 1

A. Circle

To draw a regular polygon, one can use a circle as a geometric figure. A regular polygon is a polygon with all sides and angles equal. By inscribing a polygon inside a circle, the vertices of the polygon are evenly spaced on the circumference of the circle, and the radius of the circle is equal to the distance between the center of the circle and the vertices of the polygon. This ensures that all sides of the polygon are of equal length, and all angles between the sides are equal. Therefore, by using a circle as a geometric figure, Rachael can draw a regular polygon with ease.
