Answer 10

Which of these is a step in constructing an inscribed square using technology?
Construct segment DB, segment BC, segment CE, segment EG, segment GI, and segment ID.
Draw segments BR, RS, and SB.
Identify the points of intersection between circle A and circle G.
Mark the points of intersection between circle A and line AB.

Answer 11

What exactly does your teacher mean by "technology"? Something like geogebra? or geometer's sketchpad? or something else?

Answer 12

im not sure it doesnt really specify its online

Answer 13

Then I'm not sure on this one

Answer 14

let me think

Answer 15

if another circle is drawn with B as the center, and this circle had the same radius as this current circle, then you'll get another point on the hexagon corner

Answer 16

it will be on the other side (opposite of point C)

Answer 17

hopefully you're able to visualize that?

Answer 18

im confused lol

Answer 19

step 1) Place the nonpencil part of the compass at point B

step 2) Place the pencil part at point A

step 3) Draw a circle

This new circle will cross the old circle at point C (already shown) and point F (new point not shown). Point F is going to be on both circles

Answer 20

so is it C?

Answer 21

Answer 22
