Your instructor is grading an assignment in which the students are asked to construct circle P such that the radius of circle P is congruent to segment VT. What score should the instructor award this submission?

Question

anonymous · Answer

a. No credit. The instructor can tell that this answer is incorrect, because if the instructor constructs a circle about point P with the same radius, the circles will not align, and the student wasn't asked to draw a circle around point T.

b. Partial credit. The instructor can tell that this answer is partially correct, because the student used the compass to measure the length of segment VT, but if the instructor constructs a circle about point P with the same radius, the circles will not align.
