To inscribe a hexagon inside a circle, which length should you set your compass to?

• The radius

• The diameter

• Half of the radius

• It depends on the size of the circle

By using a compass, D and G were marked equidistant from Vertex E. The compass was then used to locate point F, distant from E, so that F is equidistant from D and G. For all constructions defined by the above steps, the measures of DEF and GEF

• are equal

• are NOT equal

• sum to 45°

• sum to 30°

How is the construction for inscribing an equilateral triangle done?

• Exactly the same as the inscribed hexagon construction.

• Mostly the same as the inscribed hexagon construction, except you connect every other mark on the circle.

• Using the perpendicular bisector construction on a diameter of the circle.
