Question

Jayden is debating whether to use a straightedge and compass or a computer drawing program to complete a construction of an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle. Which method would you recommend if his goal is to complete the construction in the least amount of time? Why would you recommend that method? Describe the difference between the steps needed for each method, and provide two reasons your method is the best one to choose.

Answer 3

Whats a trival? @tkhunny

Answer 4

"trivial" - Requiring little effort.

To me, it's a toss-up. The compass and straightedge is about as hard or about as easy as the computer assisted.

This is a difficult question to help on. You must study it out in your mind and make up your own opinion.

Answer 5

ok :/ any ideas tho? @tkhunny
