Your Turn: 9. Place the steps, given below, in the appropriate order to construct the inscribed equilateral triangle in a circle. a. Continue making consecutive arcs around the circle as described in step 3 until the circle has been divided into six 60° arcs. b. Using this radius, place the point of the compass at the endpoint of the radius on the circle and make an arc that intersects the circle. c. Construct the sides of the equilateral triangle by connecting the endpoints of three consecutive 120° arcs. d. Use the given center and the straightedge to construct a radius of the circle. Use the compass to measure the radius. e. Keeping the same radius, place the point of the compass at the point of intersection of the arc (from step 2) and make another arc that intersects the circle. Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 - --

Construction of Inscribed Polygons
Your Turn:
9. Place the steps, given below, in the appropriate order to construct the inscribed equilateral triangle in a
circle.
a. Continue making consecutive arcs around the circle as described in step 3 until the circle has been
divided into six 60° arcs.
b. Using this radius, place the point of the compass at the endpoint of the radius on the circle and
make an arc that intersects the circle.
c. Construct the sides of the equilateral triangle by connecting the endpoints of three consecutive 120°
arcs.
d. Use the given center and the straightedge to construct a radius of the circle. Use the compass to
measure the radius.
e. Keeping the same radius, place the point of the compass at the point of intersection of the arc (from
step 2) and make another arc that intersects the circle.
