Question

9 here is a construction of a construction are shown. explain how to construct a regular 12 - sided polygon inscribed in the circle centered at a using digital construction tools. learning target + i can use technology to help me construct specific diagrams.

Explanation:

First, start with the given hexagon inscribed in the circle centered at A. Use the digital construction tool's angle - bisecting feature. Bisect each of the central angles of the hexagon. The central angle of a regular hexagon is 60 degrees. Bisecting these 60 - degree angles will result in 30 - degree central angles. The points where the angle - bisectors intersect the circle are the new vertices of the 12 - sided polygon.

Answer:

Use the angle - bisecting tool in the digital construction software to bisect the central angles of the given inscribed hexagon. The intersection points of the angle - bisectors and the circle are the vertices of the regular 12 - sided polygon.
