What is the first step in constructing a circumscribed circle around triangle XYZ? (1 point)

Question

Construct a line parallel to segment YZ.

Construct the perpendicular bisector of segment XY.

Construct a copy of angle X.

Construct the angle bisector of angle Y.

Answer 1

The first step in constructing a circumscribed circle around triangle XYZ is to construct the perpendicular bisector of segment XY.

The circumcircle of a triangle can be created by first finding the perpendicular bisectors of two of the triangle's sides, which will intersect at the circumcenter of the triangle, the center of the circumscribed circle.
