<h3>Steps in constructing a perpendicular bisector</h3>

The steps involved in constructing a perpendicular bisector are:

Draw a line segment XY of any appropriate length.
Take a compass, and with X as the center and with more than half of the line segment XY as width
Draw arcs above and below the line segment.
Repeat the same step with Y as the center.
Label the points of intersection as 'P' and 'Q'

Thus, Erick just needed to open the compass more to create arcs that have a radius of more than half the length of the segment AB. Option C

The complete question

Eric was attempting to construct a perpendicular bisector to the segment AB with a compass and straight edge. Which of the below statements explains what Eric may have done wrong?

a. Eric should have started by putting the compass needle point at the midpoint of the segment AB.

b. On the second step, Eric should have placed the compass needle point where the first arc intersected the segment AB.

c. Erick just needed to open the compass more to create arcs that have a radius of more than half the length of the segment AB.

d. Erick didn’t do anything wrong he just needs to connect the opposite endpoints of each arc to finish the construction.

UNO [17]

The answer is 5 large, 25 medium, 70 small dogs.

x - the number of large dogs
y - the number of medium dogs
z - the number of small dogs

<span>There are 100 dogs at Pampered Paws Kennel:
</span>x + y + z = 100

<span>Each day, the dogs eat 100 lb of food. Large dogs eat 3 lb, medium dogs eat 2 lb, and small dogs eat 0.5 lb:
3x + 2y + 0.5z = 100

</span><span>There are five times as many medium dogs as large ones:
x = 5y

</span>x + y + z = 100
3x + 2y + 0.5z = 100
y = 5x
____
Substitute y in the first two equations:
x + 5y + z = 100
3x + 2*5x + 0.5z = 100
___
6x + z = 100
13x + 0.5z = 100
____
z = 100 - 6x
13x + 0.5z = 100
____
13x + 0.5(100 - 6x) = 100
13x + 50 - 3x = 100
13x - 3x = 100 - 50
10x = 50
x = 50/10 = 5

y = 5x = 5 * 5 = 25

x + y + z = 100
5 + 25 + z = 100
30 + z = 100
z = 100 - 30
z = 70

Lyrx [107]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Your question isn't complete but let me give different scenarios to help you solve.

Firstly, assuming we want to calculate the amount of items left after the large items are carried alone, this will be:

= 561 - 36

= 525

Secondly, if we want to know the percentage of the large items that will be carried alone. This will be:

= 36/561 × 100.

= 6.42%

Thirdly, if you want to know the percentage of the items that will be left after the large ones have been carried alone. This will be:

= 100% - 6.42%

= 93.58%

yan [13]

Step-by-step explanation:

speed = distance/time

we know the speed and the time (11:45am to 1:45pm = 2 hours).

distance = speed × time = 56 m/h × 2 h = 112 miles

A quadratic equation has a

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 2 \ real \ solutions }}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic formula is:

${x = \frac{{ - b \pm \sqrt {b^2 - 4ac} }}{{2a}}}$

The discriminant of a quadratic is just the expression under the square root, or $b^2-4ac$ . This can tell us the number of solutions a quadratic has.

If the discriminant is:

Positive = 2 real solutions
Equal to Zero = 1 real double/repeated solution
Negative = 0 real solutions, but 2 imaginary solutions

Our quadratic equation has a discriminant of 5, which is positive. Therefore, it has 2 real solutions.
