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.

Calculate the mean deviation by median (by using the mid-point(x) of leaf weights. b) A fair die is rolled. Find the probability
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

hello attached below is the required table that is missing and the completed table as well

A) mean deviation = 0.1645

B) 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table we calculated the midpoint value (x) and c.f

N = 27

median class = 2.35 to 2.45

median = l + [ (N/2) - cf / F ] * H

             = 2.35  + [ (13.5 - 13) / 6 ] *0.1 = 2.3583

hence mean deviation by median

= summation of  fi |xi -M| / summation of fi

= 4.4417 / 27 = 0.1645

B ) probability of getting an odd number or prime number or both

the probability of an odd number = 1/2

also the probability of an even number = 1/2

while the probability of getting neither of them = 1/3

hence the probability of getting odd or prime or both

= 1/2 + 1/2 - 1/3 = 2/3

Tulio will invest​ $1,000,000 at​ 5% annual interest. Determine how much money will Tulio have after 10 years if the interest is
balu736 [363]

Answer:

$1,500,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Principal = $1,000,000

Rate = 5%

Time = 10years

Interest = PRT/100

Interest = 1000000*5*10/100

Interest = 100000*5

Interest = $500,000

Amount after 10years =  $1,000,000+ $500,000

Amount after 10years = $1,500,000
