Construct equilateral triangle [math]JLN[/math] inscribed in circle [math]P[/math] using Method 2. Use the given segment as the radius for circle [math]P[/math]. [i]Note[/i]: Drag the blue points to try different line segments.
[list=1] [*]Construct circle [math]P[/math]. [*]Locate vertex [math]J[/math]. Continue around the circle, labeling points [math]K[/math], [math]L[/math], [math]M[/math], and [math]N[/math]. [*]Construct the sides of the triangle. Do not erase any of your markings. Triangle [i]JLN[/i] is an equilateral triangle inscribed in circle [math]P[/math].
