Question

Thomas is constructing an inscribed regular hexagon for the circle shown. Point A will be one vertex of the hexagon. What step should be completed next?

Answer 1

SET THE WIDTH OF THE COMPASS TO EQUAL AP

Answer 2

Answer:

Set the width of compass equal to length between center P and vertex A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a circle.

Thomas is constructing a regular hexagon inside the circle that means Thomas is constructing a polynomial  having 6 equal sides inside the circle.

Point A is one vertex which lies on circle as well as on hexagon and point P is the center of the circle.

As the side of regular hexagon = radius of hexagon or radius.

The step which should be taken is to set the length of compass equal to distance between the point A and P that means set the width of compass equal to AP
