Draw triangle ABC by first drawing segment BC six inches long. Then draw a 60° angle at vertex B and a 60° angle at vertex C. Extend the segments so that they intersect at point A.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that segment BC is the base of the triangle, this drawing shows that triangle ABC is an equilateral triangle.

Since;

<B = <C = 60°

Then,

<A + <B + <C = [tex]180^{o}[/tex]

<A + 60° + 60° = [tex]180^{o}[/tex]

<A = [tex]180^{o}[/tex] - [tex]120^{o}[/tex]

    = 60°

Thus,

AB = BC = AC = 6 inches

The construction is attached to this answer.
