Which one of these is NOT a step used when constructing an inscribed square using technology?
A. Create a circle using the center with given points tool.
B. Connect the points with a line through the center of the circle.
C. Mark the points of intersection between the three circles.
D. Create another circle with the same radius as the original.
I think it is D. But C. makes no sense either! HELP!
Answer: C. Mark the points of intersection between the three circles.
It was C
C was wrong for me..
what was the answer?
To determine the correct answer to your question, let's break it down step by step.
The construction of an inscribed square using technology typically involves the following steps:
A. Create a circle using the center with given points tool.
This step involves drawing a circle with a given center point on the plane using the technology's tools.
B. Connect the points with a line through the center of the circle.
Once the circle is created, this step involves drawing a line through the center of the circle, connecting two points on the circle's circumference. This line will act as the diagonal of the inscribed square.
C. Mark the points of intersection between the three circles.
In this step, you would create two additional circles with the same radius as the original circle, sharing the same center. The points where all three circles intersect will be marked.
D. Create another circle with the same radius as the original.
This step involves creating an additional circle with the same radius as the original circle. This additional circle can be used for various purposes in the construction, such as finding additional points of intersection.
Now, let's reconsider your options:
A. Create a circle using the center with given points tool. (Possible step)
B. Connect the points with a line through the center of the circle. (Possible step)
C. Mark the points of intersection between the three circles. (Possible step)
D. Create another circle with the same radius as the original. (Possible step)
Based on the steps explained, the correct answer to your question is not D. Creating another circle with the same radius as the original is indeed one of the steps typically used when constructing an inscribed square using technology.
Therefore, the answer you are looking for is C. Marking the points of intersection between the three circles is not a step used when constructing an inscribed square using technology.
I hope this clarifies your doubt!
