Josefina is inscribing a square in a circle with center c. She first uses a straight edge to draw a diameter of the circle throu
gh the center. Then, using a compass and straight edge, she constructs the perpendicular bisector of the diameter forming another diameter. Which of these steps is her next step? A. Open the compass to a width equal to the diameter of the circle.
B. Use a straight edge to extend the diameters outside the circle.
C. Open the compass to the distance between consecutive points on the circumference of the circle.
D. Use a straight edge to connect the four points.
D. Use a straight edge to connect the four points.
Step-by-step explanation:
The steps for the construction of a square inscribed in a circle is as follows:
Draw a circle with center c.
Now draw a diameter of a circle using a straightedge.
Next draw a perpendicular bisector of the diameter using compass and then using straightedge see the points on the circle where the perpendicular bisector meets.
Next use a straightedge to connect the 4 points to get the required square.
