A. Less than 3 inches
B.3 inches
C.6 inches
D.more than 6 inches
Whats the answer??

Respuesta :

Answer:

C. 6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

In the diagram, you see an equilateral triangle constructed by three circles. The radius of each circle is equal to the side length of the triangle. The compass's width determines the radius of the circle it makes. So the compass should be as wide as the side length, which is 6 inches.
