Question

Construct a circle with a radius of 8cm, and draw an equilateral triangle inside it. Make sure the length of each side measures to 15.6 cm. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Diagram 1

Draw a circle with a radius of 8 cm, ensuring you have clearly marked the center point (black circle with center C1)

Add a point on the circumference of the circle (point C2)

Draw a second circle of radius 8cm with point C2 as its center (red circle with center C2).

Diagram 2

The red circle intersects the black circle at two points (D and E).

Connect these 2 points of intersection with a line segment.

Diagram 3

Draw a third circle with center D and radius DE (shown in blue)

This circle intersects the black circle at point F.

Diagram 4

Draw 2 line segments to connect points D and E with point F - this is your equilateral triangle inside the circle!
