When constructing an inscribed polygon with a compass and straightedge, how should you start the construction?
Use a protractor to measure the original circle into four equal parts.
Use a ruler to find the length of the diameter and then make an arc above it.
Open the compass to the width of the circle and use that as a guide.
Place a point on your paper and then use a compass to construct a circle.*
are these correct?
Yes, your answers are correct:
- When constructing parallel and perpendicular lines, the steps involve creating intersecting arcs and using a protractor and ruler for measurements. There is no mention of creating four right angles or having no similarities.
- When constructing inscribed polygons and perpendicular lines, the steps involve creating four right angles and using a protractor and ruler for measurements. There is no mention of creating intersecting arcs or having no similarities.
- In the construction of parallel lines, one of the steps is to copy an angle by creating arcs with a compass. Connecting two arcs with a compass and creating arcs above the given line with a straightedge are not specifically mentioned as steps for constructing parallel lines. Connecting the parallel lines with a straightedge comes after the other steps.
- When constructing an inscribed polygon with a compass and straightedge, you should start the construction by placing a point on your paper and then using a compass to construct a circle. Using a protractor to measure the original circle into four equal parts, using a ruler to find the length of the diameter and make an arc above it, or opening the compass to the width of the circle and using it as a guide are not specifically mentioned as the starting steps for constructing an inscribed polygon.
