Oliver draws a line on his paper and from a point on the line draws a circle. He then measures the radius of his circle and constructs an arc inside his circle from a point on the circle. What is he trying to construct?
A) a square inscribed in a circle
B) a trapezoid inscribe in a circle
C) a pentagon inscribed in a circle
D) an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle

Respuesta :

The correct answer would be D., a a right triangle inscribed inside a circle. I just barely did what the instructions said, and it was right. :P
I hope you find this helpful, feel free to mark as brainliest, and good luck! (:

Answer:

D). an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle

Step-by-step explanation:

Oliver draws a line on a paper and from a point on the line draws  a circle. He then measures the radius of the circle and constructs an arc on the circle from the point on the circumference where the radius meets. This gives a chord because on joining the point where the arc coincides on the circumference and the point where the radius meets the circumference gives you a chord which is equal to the radius of the circle.

       Then join the arc from the center of the circle which gives us a equilateral triangle of equal sides which is equal to the radius of the triangle.

Hence, option D is correct.
