Alex is constructing an inscribed square brittany is constructing an inscribed equilateral triangle in your own words describe one difference between alex's construction steps and brittany's construction steps

Answer and explanation:

Alex needs to use the diameter of the circle as she is constructing an inscribed square with four corners. While Brittany needs to use the radius of the circle as she is constructing an inscribed equilateral triangle.

For constructing an inscribed square: Alex needs to draw a circle first. Then she needs to draw a diameter in the circle and then its perpendicular bisector. Next, with the help of a straightedge, she needs to draw lines which join both the end points of diameter to intersection points made by perpendicular bisector on circle.

For constructing an inscribed equilateral triangle: Brittany needs to draw a circle first with radius r and then with the use of a compass, she needs to draw an arc from the center of the circle. Next, putting the compass on the intersection point of arc on the circle, she needs to draw the second and third arc in the same manner. All the intersections of the arcs are to be joined  with the circle using a straightedge.
