Delmar is constructing an equilateral triangle. He uses his straightedge to draw a segment and labels the endpoints W and X. With the compass opening equal to the length of the segment, he draws a circle centered at point W and then a circle centered at point X. He labels the intersections of the circles as points P and Q.
How should Delmar finish the construction?
A.Use a straightedge to join points W and P, P and Q, and then W and Q. △WPQ
is equilateral.
B.Use a straightedge to join points P and Q. Label the intersection of PQ¯¯¯¯¯
and WX¯¯¯¯¯¯ as A. Use a straightedge to join points Q and X. △QAX
is equilateral.
C.Use a straightedge to join points P and Q. Label the intersection of PQ¯¯¯¯¯
and WX¯¯¯¯¯¯ as A. Construct the midpoint of AX¯¯¯¯¯ and label it B. Use a straightedge to join points Q and B. △QAB
is equilateral.
D.Use a straightedge to join points W and P and then points P and X. △WPX
is equilateral.
