@tkhunny will you help ?
If it were a hexagon, one might more appropriately copy the radius around the circle, six times. So, probably not the hexagon.
If it were a pentagon, one might more appropriately start with a diameter OUTSIDE the circle. So, probably not a pentagon.
If it were a triangle, one might more appropriately copy the diameter a couple of times across the circle. So, probably not a triangle. We're running out of options!
@tkhunny square ?
Why are you asking? We had four choices. We eliminated three of them. There is no more question remaining. Answer with confidence.
