Answer:

  Construct a circle first

Step-by-step explanation:

If you're going to inscribe any figure in a circle, the first construction you need to do is <em>construct the circle</em>.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

The attached shows our construction of an inscribed square and an inscribed regular hexagon. Here are the steps we used. You will notice the first step is <em>construct a circle</em>. (It could be, <em>construct line AB</em>, then construct circle A with radius AB.)

We have used line AB in the construction of the hexagon, but the hexagon could have been constructed without it. That is why "construct a circle first" is likely a better choice for a common first step.

<u>square</u>

  1. construct circle A and locate a point B on it
  2. construct line AB, and locate point C at the other intersection of AB and circle A
  3. set the compass to greater than half the diameter
  4. using B as a center, draw arc RS
  5. using C as a center, draw arc RS using the same compass setting. Label the intersection points R and S.
  6. draw line RS. Label the points of intersection with the circle as T and U.
  7. draw inscribed square CTBU

<u>regular hexagon</u>

  1. construct circle A and locate a point B on it
  2. construct line AB, and locate point C at the other intersection of AB and circle A
  3. without changing the compass, using B as a center, draw arc KL. Label intersection points K and L.
  4. using C as a center, draw arc JM. Label intersection points J and M.
  5. draw inscribed hexagon CJKBLM

__

Arguably, the first step to constructing a circle is <em>set the compass to the radius</em>. We chose to ignore this because one of the ways to construct an inscribed hexagon is to mark off successive arcs around a circle that have a radius equal to the radius of the circle. We did not use that method. (The use of diameter BC made drawing 5 arcs around the circle unnecessary. We drew 2 instead.)

Or, you could argue that <em>construct a line first</em> is needed before you set the compass to the radius. If this is the first step, then the next steps would be to <em>mark the center of the circle</em> on the line, and <em>mark another point at a distance of the radius</em> from that center point.

What you consider to be the first step depends on the level of detail you want to attend to.

After the construction of a circle, we have to "Set the compass to the radius of the circle" so, option C is correct.

<h3>What is a regular hexagon?</h3>

A regular hexagon is defined as a closed shape consisting of six equal sides and six equal angles. The sum of the measure of angles of a regular hexagon is 120 degrees.

Steps to create an inscribed hexagon:

1: The structure needs to adjust the box thickness towards that radius.

2: Afterward moves around the outside of the circular path to just produce the 6 vertices of that similar hexagon.

"Set the compass to the radius of the circle" so, option C is correct.

Thus the above answer is correct.

By what percent will the product of two numbers change, if the first number increases by 70%, while the second number decreases
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the first number

It increases by 70 %

The new number is

m = x+ .70x

   = 1.7x

Let y be the second number

It decreases by 40 %

The new number is

n =y - .40 y

  = .6y


The product of the original numbers is xy

The product of the new number is

mn = (1.7x * .6y) = 1.02xy

The new number is larger than the old number so it is an increase.

Percent increase is  new - original divided by original  times 100%

Percent increase = (1.02 xy - xy)

                                -----------------  * 100%

                                 xy  

                           = .02 xy

                                ------- * 100 %

                                 xy  

                            = .02 * 100 %

                             = 2%
