Provide an appropriate response.Use a compass and straightedge to construct the circumscribing circle to the triangle shown below.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary. A sample correct response would be as follows.
Construct the perpendicular bisectors to two of the three sides of the triangle WXY (you may construct all three, but two suffice). Let P be their point of intersection. Then the circle through P of radius PX (= PY = PW) is the circumscribing circle.
