Given the line segment extending from point A to point B, carry out the following steps to construct an equilateral triangle with base AB.
Step 1: Construct a circle of radius AB at the point A.
Step 2: Construct a circle of radius AB at the point B.
Step 3: Connect points A and B to one of the points of intersection of the two circles.
You're done! Triangle ABE is an equilateral triangle.
