Answer:

The answer is D

Explanation:

Draw the point at which your circle will be centered.

Use a compass to draw a perfect circle centered at point O.

Use a ruler to draw a vertical line straight through point O.

Draw the points at which the line intersects the circle.

Draw a second circle. This circle will be centered at Point W and the radius will extend to Point O.

Mark both places where the two circles intersect. Label the point on the left "Point Y" and the point on the right "Point Z".

Connect points X, Y, and Z using a ruler or straight edge.
