What is the first step in constructing a circumscribed circle around triangle xyz?

construct a line parallel to segment yz.
construct the perpendicular bisector of segment xy.
construct a copy of angle x.
construct the angle bisector of angle y.

a

Step-by-step explanation:

Construct the perpendicular bisector of segment XY.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we can draw a circle through all the vertices of a triangle then the circle is called the circumscribed circle of the triangle.

The center of the circumscribed circle is the point through which the perpendicular bisector of each side of the triangle pass.

Therefore, the first step to construct a circumscribed circle of a triangle XYZ is to find its center and to get the center we have to construct the perpendicular bisector of segment XY. (Answer)
