Question

Select the correct answer.

chase is constructing equilateral triangle EFG inscribed in a circle. He begins by using a compass to draw circle X. He then uses a straightedge to draw a diameter of the circle and the labels the endpoints D and E. How can Chase find Points F and G?

Answer 1

In the construction of the equilateral triangle EFG inscribed in a circle, Chase can find points F and G as D. Points F and G are points of intersection of two congruent circles centered at D and E.

What is an equilateral triangle?

It should be noted that an equilateral triangle simply means a triangle that has all the sides and angles to be equal.

After drawing the diameter of the circle through the center, it's important to open the compass to a width that's equivalent to the radius the circle.

In this case, it can be deduced that Points F and G are points of intersection of two congruent circles centered at D and E.
