Question

Tanya plans to construct a circle which passes through points R, Q, and P.

Answer 1

She lists the steps to construct the circle in an incorrect order.

1. Label the point of intersection of the two perpendicular bisectors as the center C of the circle.
2. Place the compass on point C, and set the width equal to CQ.
3. Construct the perpendicular bisector of RQ.
4. Draw a circle which passes through the points R, Q, and P.
5. Construct the perpendicular bisector of PQ.

Which option shows the correct order of steps to construct the circle?
Answer

3, 5, 1, 2, 4

1, 3, 4, 2, 5

4, 3, 5, 1, 2

5, 1, 2, 3, 4

Answer 2

the first choice seems the most logical...
given any three non collinear points, a circle can be drawn through all of those points described by the procedure 3,5,1,2,4

Answer 3

ok thank-you!
