Question 8 of 40 Josefina is inscribing a square in a circle with center c. She first uses a straight edge to draw a diameter of the circle through the center. Then, using a compass and straight edge, she constructs the perpendicular bisector of the diameter forming another diameter. What is her next step? A. Open the compass to a width equal to the diameter of the circle. B. Open the compass to the distance between consecutive points on the circumference of the circle. C. Use a straight edge to connect the four points where the circle intersects the diameters. D. Use a straight edge to extend the diameters outside the circle.
