OpenStudy (chrishogan):

Do you have an image?

OpenStudy (chrishogan):

Oh, there it is.

OpenStudy (chicatica11):

just posted it

OpenStudy (chicatica11):

Should look something like this.|dw:1465399809947:dw|

OpenStudy (chrishogan):

This is a better example.

OpenStudy (chicatica11):

okay but i have to show my work with a compass. how do i do that?

OpenStudy (chrishogan):

Hmm.

OpenStudy (chrishogan):

Does this need to be drawn on paper?

OpenStudy (chicatica11):

yes

OpenStudy (chrishogan):

Hmm. Give me a moment trying to find out exactly how to explain this to you.

OpenStudy (chicatica11):

okay thats fine

OpenStudy (chrishogan):

Do you have the compass with you? Or just need to describe how to use it?

OpenStudy (chicatica11):

i have one with me. I just don't know how im supposed to do the perpendiculars on the triangle.

OpenStudy (chrishogan):

Yeah, I'm figuring it out myself.

OpenStudy (chicatica11):

haha okay

OpenStudy (chrishogan):

Okay you want to put the point of you compass on a and make a circle. It should be somewhere in the middle so you can find angle DEF |dw:1465400508878:dw|

OpenStudy (chicatica11):

so the circle is supposed to go on all the points?

OpenStudy (chrishogan):

|dw:1465400794908:dw|

OpenStudy (chicatica11):

so i built the big circle. and im really confused what to do from there

OpenStudy (chrishogan):

Okay I'll make the triangle and show you how to do it.

OpenStudy (chicatica11):

haha okay

OpenStudy (chrishogan):

put the point of the compass here. |dw:1465401110864:dw|

OpenStudy (chicatica11):
