Answer 1

The construction below demonstrates a hexagon inscribed in a circle.

Answer 2

Answer:

The construction depicts the inscribing of a hexagon in a circle.

Step-by-step explanation:

These are the following steps to inscribe a hexagon in a circle.

1. We mark a point anywhere on the circle. This mark is the first vertex of the hexagon.

2. Now we will set the compass on this vertex and set the width to the center of the circle. This is the radius of the circle.

3. Now we will make an arc across the circle which is the next vertex of the hexagon.

4. Now moving the compass on to the next vertex and drawing another arc, which becomes the third vertex of the hexagon.

5. Repeat step 4 until all vertices are marked.

6. Lastly, we will draw a line between each successive pairs of vertices, for a total of six lines.

Now we can see a hexagon inscribed in a circle.
