All you have to do is use figure A and either multiply or divide by a number to get figure B. In this case, the straight vertical side of Figure A is 6 units, and the straight vertical side of Figure B is 2. So 6 divided by 2 is 3. That means that the scale factor of the triangle is of 3. The triangle contracted it's size by 3.

James wants to construct a regular hexagon inscribe in a circle with center O and diameter PQ

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

B. Place the compass at P and draw an arc of length OP across the circle.

Below is the diagram for help.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given with an already constructed circle of diameter $PQ$ and $OP$ as radius.

To draw a regular hexagon(six-sided), we need to make first cut on the circle of an arc equal to radius of the circle taking any point of the diameter as center

So here, We will consider $P$ as a center and take an arc of length $OP$ and make a cut on the circle.

This would be the first step and James need to repeat the same steps by considering the newly formed cut as center each time.
