To make a donut shape you would use the...
- A.
... Oval Tool.
- B.
... Oval Primitive Tool and adjust the Start Angle.
- C.
... Oval Primitive Tool and adjust the Inner Radius.
Correct Answer
C. ... Oval Primitive Tool and adjust the Inner Radius.Explanation
To make a donut shape, you would use the Oval Primitive Tool and adjust the Inner Radius. This is because the Inner Radius determines the size of the hole in the center of the shape, allowing you to create a hollow shape resembling a donut. The Oval Tool would not be suitable as it does not have the option to adjust the Inner Radius. Similarly, adjusting the Start Angle would not create a donut shape, but rather a partial oval.Rate this question:
