Instructions
1. | Create an arbitrary triangle ABC by clicking three times into the Graphics View and then selecting the first created point again. | |
2. | Construct the Perpendicular Bisector for each side of the triangle. Hint: The Perpendicular Bisector tool can be applied to an existing segment. | |
3. | Create intersection point D of two of the line bisectors. Hint: The Intersect tool can be applied to the intersection of three lines or by successively selecting two of the three line bisectors. | |
4. | Construct a circle with center D through one of the vertices of triangle ABC by first selecting D and then one of the vertices of the triangle. | |
5. | Perform the Drag Test moving the vertices of the triangle to check if your construction is correct. |
