Use straightedge and compass moves to construct a square with segment
Label the intersection of the diagonals as point
Use your conjecture and straightedge and compass moves to construct a square inscribed in a circle.
We can use what we know about perpendicular lines and congruent segments to construct many different objects. A square is made up of 4 congruent segments that create 4 right angles. A square is an example of a regular polygon since it is equilateral (all the sides are congruent) and equiangular (all the angles are congruent). Here are some regular polygons inscribed inside circles:
A regular polygon is a polygon where all of the sides are congruent and all of the angles are congruent.
