8. The sides of AABC inscribed in a circle are equidistant from the center,

Tricia says that AABC must be equilateral. Which explains whether Tricia is
correct? *

A. Tricia is correct because the sides of the triangle are congruent since they are
equidistant from the center of the circle,

B. Tricia is incorrect because the sides of the triangle are different lengths since the
chord of the circle can be any length,

C. Tricia is correct because the sides of the triangle are congruent since they are
inscribed in a circle,

D. Tricia is incorrect because the triangle has two congruent sides since one chord
has to be a diameter​

Answer:

Explanation:

If the sides of triangle ABC inscribed in a circle are equidistant from the center, it means that the distance of each side from the center of the circle is the same. This means that the distance from the center of the circle to any point on a side of the triangle is the same for all 3 sides of the triangle.

If Tricia says that triangle ABC must be equilateral, then

A. Tricia is correct because the sides of the triangle are congruent since they are equidistant from the center of the circle,
