What steps would you take to draw a circle within the triangle such that each side of the triangle became a tangent line to the circle as shown by circle R? c. If a line drawn from point B to point P measures 2 inches, what is the diameter, circumference, and area of circle P in terms of I? d. Describe how you would find the area of the region bounded by segment BC and arc BDC in terms of a if the arc measure of arc BDC is 60°

Respuesta :

The circumference and area of the circle is 12. 57 inches and 12. 57 inches square respectively.

Steps involved in inscribing a triangle

The steps involved in inscribing a triangle;

  • Construct two chords on the circle.
  • Then , draw a perpendicular bisector to the chords with the compass which must meet at the center of the circle.
  • Make a line from the center to one of the farthest points of  the chords.
  • Draw two lines to form a 30 degree with the radius on the opposite side.
  • Stretch out these two lines to make two chords on the circle. The two chords should make  angle of 60 degrees to each other.
  • Then connect the other extreme of the two chords this makes an equilateral triangle.

If the line drawn from point B to point P measures 2 inches, then the diameter is

=  2 × 2

= 4 inches.

The formula for calculating the circumference of a circle is given as;

Circumference = 2 π r

Radius = diameter/ 2

Radius = 4/2 = 2 Inches

Substitute the values

Circumference = 2 × 3. 142 × 2

Circumference = 12. 57 inches

Area = π r²

Area = 3. 142 × 2²

Area = 3. 142 × 4

Area = 12. 57 square inches

Thus, the circumference and area of the circle is 12. 57 inches and 12. 57 inches square respectively.
