standard_description: Use coordinates to compute perimeters of polygons and areas of triangles and rectangles, e.g., using the distance formula.
problem_activity: Task
Suppose we are given a circle of radius $r$.  The goal of this task is to construct an equilateral triangle whose three vertices lie on the circle.
Suppose $\overline{AB}$ is a diameter of the circle.  Draw a circle with center $A$ and radius $r$ and label the two points of intersection of the circles $P$ and $Q$ as pictured below:

Show that $m(\angle ABP) = 30$ and $m(\angle ABQ) = 30$.
Show that
$\triangle PBQ$ is an equilateral triangle inscribed in the given circle.
