Using the given information, the length of WZ is 8

<h3>Length of a line </h3>

From the question, we are to find the length of WZ

From the given information,

Y is the midpoint of WZ

and

X is the midpoint of WY

First,

We will create a line that models the given description

W X Y Z

From the given information,

XY = 2

Since X is the midpoint of WY

Then,

WX = XY

∴ WX = 2

Thus

WY = WX + XY

WY = 2 + 2

WY = 4

Also,

Y is the midpoint of WZ

Then,

WY = YZ

∴ YZ = 4

Thus,

WZ = WY + YZ

WZ = 4 + 4

WZ = 8

Hence, the length of WZ is 8

Construct a circle through points x y and z

faust18 [17]

1. Open the compass to a little more than halfway across the line segment XY. Draw an arc centered at the first endpoint X across the line segment XY. Without changing the width of the compass, place the compass tip on the second endpoint Y. Draw a second arc across the line segment XY.
2. Line up a straightedge with the intersection of the arcs above the line XY, and the intersection of the arcs below the line. Draw a line connecting these two points. The line you draw is a perpendicular bisector. It bisects the line XY at a right angle.
3. Use a compass and straightedge to construct the bisectors of the line YZ as you did with the first line segment. Extend the bisectors long enough that they intersect. The point of their intersection is the center of the circle.
4. The radius of a circle is the distance from the center to any point on the circle’s edge. To set the width, place the tip of the compass on the center of the circle, and open the compass to any one of your original points.Swing the compass around 360 degrees so that it draws a complete circle. The circle should pass through all three points.

1) $\overline{AB} \cong \overline{CD}$ , $\overline{AD} \cong \overline{CB}$ , $\overline{AX} \perp \overline{BD}$ , $\overline{CY} \perp\overline{BD}$ (given)

2) $\overline{BD} \cong \overline{BD}$ (reflexive property)

3) $\triangle ABD \cong \triangle ACDB$ (SSS)

4) $\angle ADB \cong \angle CBY$ (CPCTC)

5) $\angle CYB$ and $\angle AXD$ are right angles (perpendicular lines form right angles)

6) $\triangle CYB$ and $\triangle AXD$ are right triangles (a triangle with a right angle is a right triangle)

7) $\triangle AXD \cong \triangle CYB$ (HA)

8) $\overline{AX} \cong \overline{CY}$ (CPCTC)

Answer:

<h2>The sun and the earth's interior </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

As,

The Earth has two basic sources of energy -

Earth's Interior- hat reaching the Earth from the Sun (Solar Energy) and that reaching the surface of the Earth the Earth itself (Internal or Geothermal Energy). 
Solar Energy - reaches the Earth in the form of radiant energy, and makes up 99.987% of the energy received by the Earth.

Ann is 5 feet 3 inches tall. To find the height of a lamppost, she measured her shadow to be 8 feet 9 inches and the lamppost’s

Makovka662 [10]

Answer: The lamppost is 7 feet 2 inches

Step-by-step explanation: If Ann measured her own height and her shadow, then what she used is a ratio between both measurements. If she can measure the shadow of the lamppost, then she can use the same ratio of her height and it’s shadow to derive the correct measurement of the lamppost.

If Ann’s height was measured as 5 feet 3 inches, and her shadow was 8 feet 9 inches, the ratio between them can be expressed as 3:5.

Reduce both dimensions to the same unit, that is, inches. (Remember 12 inches = 1 foot)

Ratio = 63/105

Reduce to the least fraction

Ratio = 3/5

If the height of the lamppost is H, then

H/144 = 3/5

H = (144 x3)/5

H = 86.4

Therefore the lamppost is approximately 86 inches, that is 7 feet and 2 inches tall.

Someone please help me I’ll give out brainliest please dont answer if you don’t know

Andru [333]

Answer:

subtract 7 from both sides

2x < 7- 7

subtract 7 from 7 to get 0

2x < 0

product of two numbers is < 0 if one is > 0 and the other is < 0. since 2> 0, must be < 0.

x < 0
