Question 7 • Geometry

What should Jace do first to find the exact location of the center of the circular water bowl?

Answer
A
He should draw perpendicular line segments from each corner to the opposite edge of the table.
B
He should find the midpoint of each edge of the table.
C
He should bisect each of the angles at the vertices of the triangular table top.
D
He should draw perpendicular lines through any point along the edges of the table.

Explanation

The center of a circle inscribed in a triangular table is the incenter of the triangle. The incenter is found by constructing the bisectors of the triangle’s angles; where the bisectors meet is the center of the circular bowl. Therefore, Jace should bisect each angle at a vertex of the triangular tabletop.
