Question

what is the first step when inscribing a square, equilateral triangle, or hexagon in a circle? connect all six points on the circle. draw a circle around a diameter. connect the endpoints of the diameters to form a square. draw an arc that intersects the circle at two points.

Explanation:

The first step in inscribing any regular polygon (square, equilateral triangle, hexagon) in a circle is to have the circle itself as the base. Without drawing the circle first, subsequent steps like connecting points or drawing diameters cannot proceed.

Answer:

Draw a circle around a diameter.
