I have made it in a circle(which is very easy)....but I have been unable to make one inside a semicircle....is it not possible to make equilateral triangle inside a semicircle ?... If yes how can we prove it (please give the proof or the steps I need to take to prove it) ...? If no can anyone give me some examples of such equilateral triangle/semicircle.
Note: By constructing an equilateral triangle inside a semicircle I mean that all the vertices should lie on the arc(of the semicircle).
Edit: sorry for the confusion caused (I have deleted that comment )for this question the vertex cannot lie on the diameter..
Yes, it's impossible. Note that must exist an angle obtuse in this triangle, because the diameter generates angles of 90°.
