Question
Construct an equilateral triangle ABC with side 6 cm. Draw a circle circumscribing the triangle ABC.
✓
Answer
Steps of construction:
i) Draw a line segment BC = 6 cm
ii) With centers B and C, draw two arcs of radius 6 cm which intersect each other at A.
iii) Join AC and AB.
iv) Draw perpendicular bisectors of AC, AB and BC intersecting each other at O.
v) With centre O, and radius OA or OB or OC draw a circle which will pass through A, B and C. This is the required circumcircle of triangle ABC.
