Michael 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?

Connect the arc markings to complete the perpendicular bisector

Find the perpendicular bisectors for side DF and DE

Connect three arc markings together to form the triangle

Use the intersection of arcs to determine the center of the circle

What is shown in the drawing is the steps for constructing the perpendicular bisector of EF.  If the lines where the arcs intersect are joined, then you will have the perpendicular bisector of EF (which should be the immediate next step).
