Stella is using her compass and straightedge to complete a construction of a polygon inscribed in a circle. which polygon is she in the process of constructing? a. a circle is drawn with five arc markings that lie on the circle with an additional point also marked on the circle b. an equilateral triangle. c. a square. d. a regular pentagon. e. a regular hexagon

The correct answer is:

E) A regular hexagon.

Explanation:

The point marked on the circle will serve as the first vertex. From this vertex, Stella will measure the radius using her compass (from this vertex to the center). She then turns the compass around and marks an arc on the circle. This will be the second vertex of the polygon.

Keeping the compass the same width, she moves it to the arc she just constructed and constructs another arc. This will be the third vertex.

She does this another 3 times. This makes the other 3 vertices, for a total of 6.

Since there are 6 vertices, this is a regular hexagon.

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
