Answer:

The correct answer option is B. Construct a line perpendicular to XP through point A.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given an incomplete figure of construction of a perpendicular line and we are to determine whether which of the given answer options is the next step in the construction.

From the given marks, we can deduce that a perpendicular line to XY is being constructed, passing through P.

So the next step must be to construct a line perpendicular to XP through point A to complete the construction.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The next step in the construction is:

Construct a line perpendicular to XP through point A.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

From the given construction we may observe that the construction is of a line segment perpendicular to line segment XY.

The steps of construction are as follows:

1) Take a line segment XY.

2) Take a compass and open the compass more than half the length of XY and then make the arc by keeping the compass one's at X and then at Y.

3) The point where the arc meet draw a straight line such that it pass through the point P.

4) AP will be the perpendicular line to XY and point P is the mid-point of XY.

The smallest square number which can be divisible by 11 and 5

Elena L [17]

Answer:

3025

Step-by-step explanation:

let's look at it in this concept.

For a number to be divisible by 11 and 5. it must be a multiple of the LCM of 11 and 5.

LCM of 11 and 5=55

therefore the number is 55x, where x is a positive integer.

it is a said that the number is a perfect square

therefore the square root of 55x must be an integer.

$\sqrt{55x} = \sqrt{5 \times 11 \times x}$

the smallest value of x to make 55x a perfect square is....

$x = 11 \times 5 = 55$

Therefore the number is.... .

$55x = 55(55) = 3025$

sweet right

over the past ten years, the town's population doubled in size. the population is currently 12,000. what was the population ten

IceJOKER [234]

The population ten years ago was 6,000.

Because the population doubled you divide 12,000 by 2

12,000 / 2 = 6,000

Decide if the expressions in each pair are equivalent. Explain how you know.

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

x + x + x + x is the same as 4x

because its "x four times"

5x and x+5 are not the same because x+5 in not "x five times"

5x is 5 multiplied by x.

x + 5 is 5 added to x.
