(b) Edges

(c) Diagonals

(d) Sides

I have been asked this question during a job interview.

This intriguing question originated from Drawing Regular Polygons & Simple Curves topic in section Geometrical Construction of Engineering Drawing

Answer 1

Right answer is (d) Sides

For explanation I would say: The second step in drawing a polygon is to divide the semicircle into the number of sides the polygon has. In the first we draw a semicircle with centre at one of the ends of the length and the radius is taken as the length of the side of the polygon.
