Solution

The tool or construction used to inscribe a hexagon inside a circle is C. Equilateral triangle.

Here's the step-by-step process:

  1. Draw a circle with a compass.
  2. Without changing the compass width, place the compass at any point on the circle and draw two arcs intersecting the circle.
  3. Move the compass to each of these new points in turn and draw two more arcs. You should now have six points on the circle.
  4. Join these six points to form an equilateral triangle. This will inscribe a hexagon inside the circle.
