Question

Emma is debating whether to use a straightedge and compass or a computer drawing program to complete a construction of a square inscribed in a circle. Which method do you think would take the longest to complete the construction and why?

Answer 1

Answer:

The computer drawing program

Step-by-step explanation:

The computer program would take longer.

It is really easy and fast to draw a square inscribed in a circle using a straightedge and compass. You would only need to draw a line which would be the diameter of the circle and then draw a perpendicular to that line using the method of the compass and straightedge (putting one side of the compass in one extreme of the diameter, then opening up the compass to a point O farther that the center of the diameter and draw the line, then do the same from the other side of the diameter (without changing the width of the compass), the lines will bisect and these two points along with the extremes of the diameter will become the vertices of the inscribed square.

This method should take less than a minute to complete.

Answer 2

I think its computer drawing program
