Question

Question: To construct a equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle, match the corresponding steps to the proper order. For example start with “1” as the first step and “8” being the last step, please.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The correct order would be the following:

1. Segment with A and B marked as the endpoints.

2. Measure AB with a compass

3. Place the compass at point A and create an arc above and below segment AB

4. Place the compass at point B without changing the settings and place an arc above and below segment AB. Label these new points of intersection C and D

5. Place compass on point A and draw the circle so goes all the way around through point B and through C and D

6. Place compass on point C and make an arc so it goes through the other side of the circle

7. Place compass on point D without changing the settings and make an arc through the other side of the circle

8. Label this new oint EE. Now connect C, D, E to makee the equilateral triangle
