Which of the following steps did Tommy take to construct the inscribed square? Select all steps in the construction.
A Construct a perpendicular bisector of the diameter AB.
B. Construct a perpendicular bisector of the diameter DE.
C. Construct a bisector of ADB to find the location of point E.
D. Use the compass to draw a circle centered at point c.
O E Use the compass to draw two arcs of the same radius centered at point C.
OF Use the straightedge to draw diameter AB of the circle.
OG Use the straightedge to draw lines connecting the endpoints of the two diameters.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct options are;

A. Construct a perpendicular bisector of the diameter AB

D. Use the compass to draw a circle centered at point C

E. Use the compass to draw two arcs of the same radius centered at point C

F. Use the straightedge to draw diameter AB of the circle

G. Use the straightedge to draw lines connecting the endpoints of the two diameters

Step-by-step explanation:

To draw an inscribed square of a circle, the circle is first constructed. The diameter of the circle is drawn with a straight edge to find the first two vertices of the intended inscribed square. The perpendicular bisector of the diameter is then drawn intersecting the circumference to provide the other two vertices of the square.

The straightedge is then used to draw lines that connect the endpoints of the two diameters to form the inscribed square of the circle.
