Answer:

  Construct a circle first

Step-by-step explanation:

If you're going to inscribe any figure in a circle, the first construction you need to do is <em>construct the circle</em>.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

The attached shows our construction of an inscribed square and an inscribed regular hexagon. Here are the steps we used. You will notice the first step is <em>construct a circle</em>. (It could be, <em>construct line AB</em>, then construct circle A with radius AB.)

We have used line AB in the construction of the hexagon, but the hexagon could have been constructed without it. That is why "construct a circle first" is likely a better choice for a common first step.

<u>square</u>

  1. construct circle A and locate a point B on it
  2. construct line AB, and locate point C at the other intersection of AB and circle A
  3. set the compass to greater than half the diameter
  4. using B as a center, draw arc RS
  5. using C as a center, draw arc RS using the same compass setting. Label the intersection points R and S.
  6. draw line RS. Label the points of intersection with the circle as T and U.
  7. draw inscribed square CTBU

<u>regular hexagon</u>

  1. construct circle A and locate a point B on it
  2. construct line AB, and locate point C at the other intersection of AB and circle A
  3. without changing the compass, using B as a center, draw arc KL. Label intersection points K and L.
  4. using C as a center, draw arc JM. Label intersection points J and M.
  5. draw inscribed hexagon CJKBLM

__

Arguably, the first step to constructing a circle is <em>set the compass to the radius</em>. We chose to ignore this because one of the ways to construct an inscribed hexagon is to mark off successive arcs around a circle that have a radius equal to the radius of the circle. We did not use that method. (The use of diameter BC made drawing 5 arcs around the circle unnecessary. We drew 2 instead.)

Or, you could argue that <em>construct a line first</em> is needed before you set the compass to the radius. If this is the first step, then the next steps would be to <em>mark the center of the circle</em> on the line, and <em>mark another point at a distance of the radius</em> from that center point.

What you consider to be the first step depends on the level of detail you want to attend to.

After the construction of a circle, we have to "Set the compass to the radius of the circle" so, option C is correct.

<h3>What is a regular hexagon?</h3>

A regular hexagon is defined as a closed shape consisting of six equal sides and six equal angles. The sum of the measure of angles of a regular hexagon is 120 degrees.

Steps to create an inscribed hexagon:

1: The structure needs to adjust the box thickness towards that radius.

2: Afterward moves around the outside of the circular path to just produce the 6 vertices of that similar hexagon.

"Set the compass to the radius of the circle" so, option C is correct.

Thus the above answer is correct.

The surface areas of two similar solids are 384 yd squared and 1057 yd squared The volume of the larger solid is 1795. What is t
Arturiano [62]
This is the concept of scale factors, we are required to calculate for the volume of the smaller solid if the larger solid has a volume of 1975.
Area scale factor=(linear scale factor)^2
thus;
Area scale factor=(area of larger solid)/(area of smaller solid)=1057/384
linear scale factor=√(1057/384)=5.7019
the volume scale factor=(linear scale factor)^3=[volume of larger solid]/[volume of smaller solid]
The volume scale factor=(5.7019)^3=185.3772
therefore;
volume of smaller solid=[volume of larger solid]/[volume scale factor]

=1795/185.3772
=9.683 
The answer is 9.683 yd^3

When a river​ flows, the strength or force of the river depends on how far the river falls vertically compared to how far it flo
strojnjashka [21]

The figure is missing. There are several problems with same wording but different numbers

Here, we can use:

  • Horizontal distance: 258 feet

  • Vertical fall: 56.0 feet

Answer:

  • Slope = 56.0 ft / 258 ft ≈ 0.217

Explanation:

The <em>slope</em> measures how the rate of change of the vertical distance (vertical fall) with respect to the horizontal distance.

There are several forms to express this with words, which represent the same formula. Here are some of them:

  • Slope = rise / run
  • Slope = vertical change / horizontal change
  • Slope = change in y / change in x
  • Slope = Δy / Δx
  • Slope = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

As said, all those forms mean the same; they are equivalent.

Here, we have vertical fall = 56.0 feet, and horizontal distance = 258 feet, and by specifications of the problem (in the hint) the slope must be positive. Thus, you get:

  • Slope = vertical fall / horizontal distance = 56.0 feet / 258 feet ≈ 0.217

OFFERING 50 POINTS!!! The army reports that the distribution of waist sizes among female soldiers is approximately normal, with
hammer [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

Percentile is related to the area under the standard normal curve to the LEFT of a certain data value (which in this case would be 26.1 inches).

On my Texas Instruments TI-83 Plus calculator, I found this area as follows:

normcdf(-100, 26.1, 28.4,1.2), where the range -100 to 26.1 represents the area (as a decimal fraction) to the left of 26.1 inches.  My result was 0.028, which corresponds to the 3rd percentile (0.028 rounds off to 0.03, which would be 3rd percentile).

2)  The mean waist size is 28.4 inches, represented by a vertical line through the standard normal curve lying between 24 and 32.  We use the same function on the calculator:  normcdf(24, 32, 28.4, 1.2).

The result is 0.9985.  Subtracting this from 1.0000, we get 0.001, or 0.1%, which is the percentage of female soldiers requiring custom uniforms.
