Answer 1

Michael is using a drawing program to complete a construction. Which construction is he completing?

Answer 2

An equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle

A square inscribed in a circle

A regular pentagon inscribed in a circle

A regular hexagon inscribed in a circle

Answer 3

Is the black line in the middle supposed to be a part of the construction?

Answer 4

Yes. The whole thing is.

Answer 5

I'd say a regular hexagon because that's the only shape you'd have to draw a line through the middle of the circle for. All the other shapes call for a line further down the circle

Answer 6

That's a regular hexagon inscribed in a circle

Answer 7

Equilateral Triangle:

Answer 8

Regular pentagon:

Answer 9

Square:

(that ones not very good lol)

But you get the point, a hexagon is the only shape inscribed in a circle that called for a line through the middle of the circle like in your picture.

Construct a perpendicular bisector to line AB.

Draw a line parallel to line AB that touches the circle at point A.
