Q:

When constructing an equilateral triangle by hand, which step comes after constructing a circle

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:Without changing the distance of the compass put the pin of the compass on the other endpoint of the segment and draw another circle intersects the first circle in a point over the segmentStep-by-step explanation:* Lets revise how to construct an equilateral triangle- Use a straightedge to draw a line segment which represents a side  of the triangle- Span the segment with your compass- Put the pin of the compass on one of the endpoints of the segment  and draw a circle- Without changing the distance of the compass put the pin of the  compass on the other endpoint of the segment and draw another  circle intersects the first circle in a point over the segment- Join this point with the endpoints of the segment , now you have  an equilateral triangle* From the steps above the steps comes after constructing a circle is  Without changing the distance of the compass put the pin of the  compass on the other endpoint of the segment and draw another  circle intersects the first circle in a point over the segment
