Question

question 19 of 25 if a circle is inscribed in a hexagon, which of the following must be true? check all that apply. a. each vertex of the hexagon lies outside the circle b. each vertex of the hexagon lies inside the circle c. the circle is tangent to each side of the hexagon d. the circle is congruent to the hexagon e. the hexagon is circumscribed about the circle

Explanation:

When a circle is inscribed in a hexagon, the circle is tangent to each side of the hexagon. The vertices of the hexagon lie outside the circle. The hexagon circumscribes the circle (the circle is inside the hexagon). A circle cannot be congruent to a hexagon as they are different - shaped geometric figures.

Answer:

C. The circle is tangent to each side of the hexagon.
D. The circle is congruent to the hexagon. (False, so not selected)
E. The hexagon is circumscribed about the circle.
