Three students, Alicia, Benjamin, and Caleb, are constructing a square inscribed in a circle with center at point C. Alicia draws two diameters and connects the points where the diameters intersect the circle, in order, around the circle. Benjamin tells Alicia that she was not beirng very accurate. He says that the diameters must be perpendicular to each other. Then she can connect the points, in order, around the circle. Caleb tells Alica and Benjamin that he doesn't need to draw the second diameter. He says that because a triangle inscribed in a semicinde is a rght triangle. he will simply draw two such triangle one in cach semicircle. Together the two triangles will make a square. Who is correct? C Akca. Benamin.and Caleb are all corec. OyBenjarin is correct. C Ony Aliciis correct. COy Caleos.correst 0DyCile and Eenjanie ane cormext
