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

@surjithayer Thank you so much ! So just to make sure that would be Use the intersection of arcs to determine the center of the circle, right ?
Intersection of the secants to know where to put the sharp part of your compass and put the pencil part on one of the vertices.
Center is the intersection of perpendicular bisectors of any two sides.
Thank you guys !
