Question

Amy is using a drawing program to complete a construction with which she is almost finished. Which construction is she completing?
a. An equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle
b. A square inscribed in a circle
c. A regular pentagon inscribed in a circle
d. A regular hexagon inscribed in a circle

Answer 1

Amy is constructing an equilateral triangle. it's she joins the centers of the 2 circles to the point of intersection she will be done

option a

Answer 2

From this point, Amy could construct either an equilateral triangle or a regular hexagon. The triangle takes fewer steps to complete.

If Amy designates the (top and bottom) points of intersection of the circles as D and E, then her inscribed equilateral triangle would be ∆BDE. The appropriate choice is ...

... a. An equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle.

_____

If Amy continues by drawing diameters DAF and EAG, then she can inscribe regular hexagon BGDCEF in circle A.
