Construct an Equilateral Triangle Inscribed in a Circle

Step By Step Directions

1) Using the COMPASS Tool, select B then A to create another circle with a radius of AB. move that new circle to center on point B. 2) The two circles will intersect twice. Pick one of those intersection points and label it C. 3) Repeat the same as step 1 creating a new circle with the radius AB but now centered on point C 4) Work your way around the circle, creating new intersection points D, E, F, G all being created with the same compass circle with a radius of AB.. 5) You now have points B, C, D, E, F, G around the circle. Connect EVERY OTHER adjacent point to each other to create an equilateral triangle inside the circle.
