Question

As a part of a geometry assignment, Daphne will construct a circle through three given points A, B, and C and then construct a tangent to the circle through point A. Daphne wrote down the steps she will use as shown below.

Answer 1

Step 1: Draw line segments AB and BC.
Step 2: Construct the perpendicular bisectors of segments AB and BC and label their point of intersection as O.
Step 3: Center the compass at point O and draw a circle through points A, B, and C.
Step 4: Draw the radius OA.
Step 5: Construct a perpendicular to the line OA at point A.
Step 6: Draw the tangent line through point A.

Which of these describes an error in the steps she will use to construct the circle and tangent?

Answer 2

Step 2 is incorrect. Construct the angle bisectors.
Step 3 is incorrect. Center the compass at point A.
Step 4 is incorrect. Draw line OA and extend it beyond the circle.
Step 5 is incorrect. The perpendicular should be constructed on segment BC.

Answer 3

those are answers before this
