Answer:
The correct option is;
Set the compass width to the radius of the circle
Step-by-step explanation:
In construction of an inscribed regular hexagon, the following steps are required
1) Set the compass width to the radius of the circle
2) Make an arc on the circle with the set radius dimension to get a vertex point
3) From the previous arc make another arc with the same radial dimension for the next vertex point
4) Continue until arriving at the starting point
5) Connect the vertices point by drawing a line between adjacent vertex point to form an inscribed regular hexagon
In construction of an inscribed equilateral triangle, the following steps are required
1) Set the compass width to the radius of the circle
2) Make an arc on the circle with the set radius dimension to get a vertex point
3) From the previous arc make another arc with the same radial dimension for the stepping point before the next vertex point
4) Continue until arriving at the starting point
5) Connect the every other vertices point by drawing a line between every other adjacent vertex point to form an inscribed equilateral triangle.
Answer: B) Set the compass width to the radius of the circle.
