Inscribed Square

Follow these steps to construct a square inscribed in a circle.

1) Using the LINE TOOL, create the diameter through B. Click on the line tool, click on A, then click on B 2) Using the POINT TOOL create point C as the other endpoint on the diameter. This SHOULD NOT BE a purple point, it should be a black point. 3) Using the POINT TOOL create point D somewhere between A and C. This WILL BE a purple point. 4) Using the COMPASS TOOL, create a circle with radius BD and center point B. Click on the compass tool, click on B, the D, then B 5) Using the COMPASS TOOL, create a circle with radius BD and center point C. Click on the compass tool, click on B, the D, then C 6) Using the POINT TOOL label where the last two larger circles intersect as E and F. These SHOULD NOT BE a purple points, they should be a black points. 7) Using the LINE TOOL, draw a line through points E and F. Click on the line tool, click on E, then click on F 8) Using the POINT TOOL, label where the line intersects the circle as G (top) and H (bottom). These SHOULD NOT BE a purple points, they should be a black points. 9) Using the SEGMENT TOOL, draw a segment from point C to point G. Click on the Segment tool, click on C, then click on G 10) Using the SEGMENT TOOL, draw a segment from point G to point B. Click on G, then click on B 11) Using the SEGMENT TOOL, draw a segment from point B to point H.  Click on B, then click on H 12) Using the SEGMENT TOOL, draw a segment from point H to point C.  Click on H, then click on C RESULT: Square CGBH inscribed in circle A.
