Answer:

D. Open the compass so that the distance from the two points of the compass is wider than half the length of $\over{AB}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

To construct a perpendicular for $\over{AB}$ , we must first take a compass & take the distance of its arms wider than half the length of $\over{AB}$ .

This is done in order to get two intersecting arcs in the top & bottom of $\over{AB}$ so that a perpendicular bisector can be drawn through it.

After two intersecting lines are drawn below & above $\over{AB}$ , draw a line joining these 2 points through their points of intersection. The point where it intersects $\over{AB}$ is the middle-most point of $\over{AB}$ & now a perpendicular bisector of $\over{AB}$ is constructed.

When 3 is subtracted from one third of a number less than 6. Which inequality and solution represents this sitution?

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

1/3(n) - 3 < 6; n < 27

Step-by-step explanation:

" 3 subtracted from one third of a number"

= 1/3(n) - 3

given that this is less than 6:

1/3(n) - 3 < 6

1/3(n) < 6 +3

1/3(n) < 9

n < 27

Find the value of b. Express the answer as a simplified radical.

Mama L [17]

Here three sides of a right angled triangle given.

The three sides are b, 8 and 14.

The side with length 14 is the hypotenuse here. We have to find the side of length b.

To get b, we will use Pythagoras theorem here.

By using Pythagoras theorem we can write,

$c^2=a^2+b^2$ , where c is the hypotenuse.

So here we can write,

$14^2=8^2+b^2$

$196 = 8^2+b^2$

$196=64+b^2$

To solve it for b, now we have to move 64 to the left side by subtracting it from both sides.

$196-64 = 64+b^2-64$

$196-64 = b^2$

$132=b^2$

Now to find b, we have to take square root to both sides. We will get,

$\sqrt{132}= \sqrt{b^2}$

$\sqrt{132} =b$

$b= \sqrt{(4)(33)}$

$b= (\sqrt{4})(\sqrt{33})$

$b= 2\sqrt{33}$

We have got the required answer for the side b.
