Step-by-step explanation:

Layla is using her compass and straightedge to complete a construction of a polygon inscribed in a circle. Which polygon is she in the process of constructing?

A circle is drawn with two arc markings above and below the diameter.

We know that a regular hexagon can be inscribed in a circle with two vertices on the extremities of one diameter and two vertices above and below that diameter.

Hence we conclude that this will be a hexagon.

Hexagon has 6 sides and the inscribed circle will make hexagon with sides as chords subtending equal angle 60 degrees with the centre.
