Question

jace is making a water play table from a triangular table top. he sketched a dotted line to show where he wants to add a circular water bowl. it should go all the way to the edges of the table as shown. what should jace do first to find the exact location of the center of the circular water bowl? he should find the midpoint of each edge of the table. he should bisect each of the angles at the vertices of the triangular table top. he should draw perpendicular lines through any point along the edges of the table. he should draw perpendicular line segments from each corner to the opposite edge of the table. a 3.5 feet b 30° 2 feet 4 feet 60° c

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The center of a circle that is tangent to all sides of a triangle (an inscribed - circle) is called the in - center. The in - center is the point of intersection of the angle bisectors of the triangle. So, to find the center of the circular water bowl that touches all the edges of the triangular table top, Jace should bisect each of the angles at the vertices of the triangular table top.

Answer:

He should bisect each of the angles at the vertices of the triangular table top.
