Answer 2

Take a screenshot and post it. Others cannot see the above link.

Answer 3

I honestly have no damn idea what this is.

Answer 4

After doing the above construction what they end up with is a regular hexagon inscribed within the first circle (as seen in the diagram).

Answer 5

Thanks.

Answer 6

After doing the above construction what they end up with is a regular hexagon BCDEFG inscribed within the first circle centered at A (as seen in the diagram).

Answer 7

You are welcome.

Answer 8

OOhhhh they tried to use the other shapes to throw you off?

Answer 9

I feel dumb now.

Answer 10

Well, that was not the intention.
If you are given a circle and you are asked to inscribed a regular hexagon within that circle, this is the constriction to follow (one of few different ways to inscribe a hexagon within a circle).

Answer 11

Question: You are given a circle. Inscribe a regular hexagon within that circle.

Step 1: Pick any point B on the circle.
Step 2: Draw a circle with the same radius as the original given circle. Mark the points where this circle cuts the original circle as C and G.
Step 3: With C as center draw another circle and mark the point of intersection as D.
....etc. until you get all 6 vertices: B, C, D, E, F, and G. Join the vertices to get your hexagon.
