Marquez is constructing a regular hexagon inscribed in a circle. He begins by drawing a line and labeling a point on the line as point A. He then uses his compass to construct a circle with point A as the center. He labels the points where the circle intersects the line as points B and C. What step should be his next step?

Adjust the compass to width AC/AB and with the compass at B/C, mark an arc across the circle to be the next vertex of the hexagon.

Step-by-step explanation:

The steps in constructing a regular hexagon inscribed in a circle are:

  • Marking a point on the circle to be the first vertex of the hexagon
  • Place compass on the point and adjust it to the center of the circle
  • Mark an arc across the circle to be the next vertex of the hexagon
  • Move the compass to this new vertex and mark another arc for the next vertex of the hexagon
  • Repeat this step to achieve all 6 vertices
  • Using a straight edge draw a line between each point and the next one on the circle
  • The result is an inscribed hexagon in a circle
