A. Construct an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle.

B. Write the directions for constructing an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle.

STEP 1: ​Start with the given circle, center O.
STEP 2: Mark a point anywhere on the circle.
STEP 3: Set the compasses on this point and set the width of the compasses to the
center of the circle. The compasses are now set to the radius of the circle.
STEP 4: Make an arc across the circle
STEP 5: Move the compasses to this new point and draw another arc. Continue in this
way until you have six points in total.
STEP 6: Label every other point B,D and F
STEP 7: Draw the lines BD, DF, FB.
Now you have an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle.

A. Construct a square inscribed in a circle.

B. Write the directions for constructing a square inscribed in a circle.

STEP 1: ​Start with the given circle, center O.
STEP 2: Mark a point A on the circle. This will become one of the vertices of the square.
STEP 3: Draw a diameter line from the point A, through the center and on to cross the
circle again, creating point C.
STEP 4: Set the compass on A and set the width to a little more than the distance to O.
STEP 5: Draw an arc above and below O. Move the compass to C and repeat.
STEP 6: Draw a line through where the arc pairs cross, making it long enough to touch
the circle at top and bottom, creating the new points B and D. This is a diameter at right
angles to the first one AC.
STEP 7: Draw a line between each successive pairs of points A, B, C, D
Now you have a square inscribed in a circle.

A. Construct a regular hexagon inscribed in a circle.

B. Write the directions for constructing a regular hexagon inscribed in a circle.

STEP 1: ​Start with the given circle, center O.
STEP 2: Mark a point anywhere on the circle.
STEP 3: Set the compasses on this point and set the width of the compasses to the
center of the circle. The compasses are now set to the radius of the circle.
STEP 4: Make an arc across the circle. This will be the next vertex of the hexagon.
STEP 5: Move the compasses to this new point and draw another arc. Continue in this
way until you have six points in total.
STEP 6: Draw a line between each successive pair of vertices, for a total of six lines.
Now you have ​a regular hexagon ​inscribed in a circle.
