Answer:

See descriptions below.

Step-by-step explanation:

To construct a perpendicular bisector, draw a line segment. From each end of the line segment, draw arcs above and below which intersect from each side. Be sure to maintain the same radius on each. Where the arcs intersect above and below, mark points. Connect these two points. This is a perpendicular bisector.

To prove theorems about parallel lines, use angle relationships. For instance, when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, specific angle are congruent. When these relationships are congruent, you must have parallel lines:

Alternate Interior
Alternate Exterior
Corresponding Angles
Same side interior add to 180

LuckyWell [14K]

The volume of the pyramid would be 80 cubic centimeters. The reason for this is because the formula for volume of a pyramid is 1/3bh, so if all the dimensions are the same for both figures, just divide the volume of the prism by three to find the volume of the pyramid. If you do this 240÷3=80 or the volume of the pyramid.

Andrews [41]

This area is equal to the sum of a circle with a radius of 5/2 in and a rectangle 5 by 15 in so:

A=πr^2+xy

A=π(2.5)^2+5*15

A=6.25π+75 in^2

A≈94.63 in^2 (to nearest hundredth) so

A≈95 in^2 (to nearest whole square inch)
