Which one of these is not a step used when constructing an inscribed equilateral triangle using technology? Connect the two circles together using the compass tool. Create a circle using the center with given point tool. Connect the point with a line through the center of the circle. Create another circle with the same radius as the original.

Below is a stage in the construction of an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle. Which of the following sentences describes the next step in the construction? A. Place the compass needle on point B, set the compass width to be more than half of AB, and draw arcs above and below the approximate center of AB. B. Place the compass needle on point B, set the compass width to be more than half of AB, and draw an arc intersecting AB. C. Place the compass needle on point B and draw a circle with a radius equal to AB. D. Place the compass needle on the bisector of AB, and draw a circle that has points A and B as endpoints of its diameter.
