Kevin and Jamal are both working on a construction of a circle circumscribed about a triangle. Kevin starts by finding the angle bisectors of each angle in the triangle. Jamal starts by finding the perpendicular bisectors of each side of the triangle. Whose construction will be correct? What additional steps must be taken to complete the construction of the circumscribed circle?

Jamal starts by finding the perpendicular bisectors of each side of the triangle.
Their point of intersection is the center and the radius is from the center to one of the vertices of the triangle
is that it
You have to draw the circle as I described above
But in the question it says What additional steps must be taken to complete the construction of the circumscribed circle?
I thought you were just going to give me the additional steps
The first step is to see where the perpendicular bisectors meet, that is the center. The second step is to know the radius. With a compass, draw the circle
do i really have to
