Answer:

The option which is used to inscribe a square in a circle is option B

B. Construct a perpendicular bisector of the diameter of the circle

Step-by-step explanation:

The steps required to inscribe a square in a circle are;

1) Draw the circle using a compass

2) Draw the diameter of the circle, that passes through the center of the circle with a straight edge label the endpoint of the diameter X and Y

3) Construct the line perpendicular to the diameter of the circle and label the endpoints as A and B

The figure formed by joining the endpoints X, Y, A, and B is the inscribed square of the circle

Therefore, the correct option is to construct a perpendicular bisector of the diameter of the circle.

Given : 

six times a number, increased by 3 is is 27.

To Find: 

The number.

Solution : 

Let the number is x

six times a number is 6x

Increased by 3 = 6x+3

According to the given question :

Solving the value x : 

6x+3 =27

6x = 27-3

6x = 24

x = 24/6

x = 4
