Question

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

Step 1: Draw line segments AB and BC.
Step 2: Construct the angle 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 line OA and extend it beyond the circle.
Step 5: Construct a perpendicular to the line OA at point A.

Answer 1

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

Step 5 is incorrect. The perpendicular should be constructed on segment BC.

Step 3 is incorrect. Center the compass at point A.

Step 2 is incorrect. Construct the perpendicular bisectors of the segments.

Step 4 is incorrect. Draw the radius OA.

I THINK A IS THE ASNWER
