How many perpendicular bisectors of an equilateral triangle's sides are needed to find its center?
Show answer
Two perpendicular bisectors are sufficient; they meet at the center.
What geometric relationship exists between a regular hexagon and the circle in which it is inscribed?
Show answer
The side length of the regular hexagon equals the radius of the circle.
What does it mean for a polygon to be inscribed in a circle?
Show answer
All vertices of the polygon lie on the circle.
An ? triangle has all three sides of equal length.
Show answer
equilateral
A ? divides a line segment into two equal parts at a right angle.
Show answer
perpendicular bisector
What basic construction technique is used to create an equilateral triangle from a line segment AB?
Show answer
Draw arcs with compass centered at A and B, each with radius AB, to find the third vertex where the arcs intersect.
How can a regular hexagon be constructed using only a compass and the given circle?
Show answer
Mark six points around the circle's circumference, each one radius-length apart, then connect consecutive points.
