Aaron is constructing a circle circumscribed about a triangle. He has partially completed the construction as shown below. What should be his next step in the construction?

a. Connect the arc markings to angle E to find another bisector
b. Use the compass to find the perpendicular bisector for side DF
c. Connect three arc markings to the vertices form the triangle
d. Use the intersection of the arcs to determine the center of the circle

the centre of the circle is the point where the perpendicular bisectors of the sides intersect

cwrw238 · Answer

my last post should lead you to the correct option

anonymous · Answer

d?

cwrw238 · Answer

its not the intersection of the arcs -  its where the lines intersect 
which of the options draws a line?

anonymous · Answer

c then

?

cwrw238 · Answer

the lines are straight

anonymous · Answer

please tell me its b. then cause using a compass is for making straight lines right

cwrw238 · Answer

yes  its b
