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
