To copy an angle using only a compass and a straightedge, begin by marking the vertex of the new angle. Then draw a ray from the

vertex, which will be one of the legs of the new angle. What is the next step in the construction?

<span>Set the compass to a convenient width, and draw an arc that is centered at the vertex of the original angle and intersects both legs of the original angle.</span>

The <em>correct answer</em> is:


Place the point of the compass on the vertex of our original angle. Open the compass to a random width and draw an arc through both legs of the angle. Mark the points of intersection with this arc and the sides of the angle.


Explanation:


In order to copy the angle, we need to have some reference for how wide the angle is.


So far all we have is a ray. To get the reference for the width that we need, we will construct an arc in the original angle such that it intersects each side of the angle.


We will then set the compass width to these points of intersection. This will be how we set the width of the new angle.

A building 84 ft high casts a 46 ft shadow. How tall is a building that casts a 110 ft shadow at the same time of the day? (to t
Bond [772]
The ratio of building heights will be the same as the ratio of shadow lengths.
  (taller building)/(shorter building) = (longer shadow)/(shorter shadow)
  (taller building)/(84 ft) = (110 ft)/(46 ft) . . . . . . fill in the given numbers
  (taller building) = (84 ft)*(110/46) ≈ 200.9 ft . . multiply by 84 ft, evaluate

The appropriate selection is
  D) 200.9 ft

Wait so the sum of interior angles
Amiraneli [1.4K]
<h3>Answer:   1260</h3>

====================================================

Work Shown:

n = number of sides = 9

S = sum of the interior angles of any polygon with n sides

S = 180(n-2)

S = 180(9-2)

S = 180(7)

S = 1260
