Is it possible to contruct a equilateral triangle with a straightedge and a compass?
Yes definitely. Draw a line. Set the compass to the length of that line. Place the point of the compass on one end of the line and prescribe an arc. Place the compass on the other end of the line and prescribe a second arc which intersects the first arc. Where they meet, draw lines to each end of the first line and you will have an equilateral triangle.
Can you draw an equilateral triangle using a straightedge and compass?
Yes, it is quite simple.Draw a straight line segment, AB. Put the compass point at A and open it so that the pencil point is at B. Then draw an arc. Next, without changing the compass setting move it to B and draw another arc to cut the previous arc at C. [Actually there will be two points, one on either side of AB.] Using the straight edge, join AC and BC. Then ABC is an equilateral triangle.
When an equilateral triangle is constructed which is completed first?
the base. sorry but, that not it it isthe width of the compass to the length of one side of the triangle.
How do you draw a equilateral acute triangle?
An equilateral triangle MUST be acute. Draw a staright line AB. Take a compass and put its pin point at A and the pencil point at B. Draw an arc on one side of AB. Without disturbing the compass setting, move the pin point to B and draw another arc to intersect the first arc at C. Join CA and CB. Then ABC is an equilateral triangle.
What are the classical construction tools of geometry?
compass and straightedge.

In the straightedge and compass construction of an equilateral triangle below which of the following reasons can you use to prove that and are congruent?
AB and BC are both radii of B. To prove that AB and AC are congruent: "AC and AB are both radii of B." Apex.

In the straightedge and compass construction of the equilateral triangle below which of the following reasons can you use to prove that and angCAB and cong and angACB?
Simply use a protractor and all 3 interior angles should each measure 60 degrees.
Which of these tools or constructions is needed to construct an equilateral triangle?
Compass I know that apex struggle

Geometric figure made with a straightedge and compass?
A construction. A contruction is a geometric drawing of a figure usually made by a compass and a straightedge.
How do you construct an equilateral triangle?
Draw a point. Set your compass to a certain length and mark an arc from the point to make a line. With the same measurement make an arc above the line from both endpoints. Using a straightedge, connect both endpoints to the two arcs intersections. Done.
What tools did the greek use in geometric constructions?
A straightedge and compass.
Which of these tools or constructions is used to inscribe a hexagon inside a circle?
An equilateral triangle has 60 degree angles. 60 degrees x 6 = 360 degrees. A hexagon has 6 sides so....
