Question

1. this diagram was created by starting with points c and d and using compass to construct the rest. all steps of the construction are steps needed to produce this diagram. (from unit 1, lesson 2.)

Explanation:

Step1: Start with points C and D

These are the initial given points.

Step2: Open compass to distance CD

Set the compass width to the length between C and D.

Step3: Draw arcs from C and D

With the compass set to CD, draw arcs from both C and D. The intersection of these arcs gives a new point.

Step4: Use new - formed points for further arcs

Repeat the process of using the compass to draw arcs from newly - formed points to build up the circles and other elements in the diagram.

Answer:

1. Start with points C and D.
2. Open compass to distance CD.
3. Draw arcs from C and D.
4. Use new - formed points for further arcs.
