Question 26 • (OC27) GEO-1206310-S2-Degele-VOL7006P

Which construction requires both endpoints of the diameter and the points where the arcs intersect the circle to be connected, in order, by line segments?

Answer
A
an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle
B
a square inscribed in a circle
C
a similar circle inscribed in a circle
D
a regular hexagon inscribed in a circle

Explanation

For a regular hexagon inscribed in a circle, set the compass to the circle’s radius and use the two endpoints of a diameter as centers to mark additional points on the circumference. Together, those points and the diameter’s endpoints give six vertices; connecting them in order forms the regular hexagon. The correct choice is “a regular hexagon inscribed in a circle.”
