A circle is given with center R and point T that lies on the circle. What is the first step to construct the equilateral triangle, ASTU, inscribed in circle R? Measure the radius, RT, with a ruler. Construct an initial arc beginning from point R using a compass. Construct a diameter that includes the radius, RT. Measure the radius, RT, with a compass.
