Answer with explanation:

In the figure Line segment L M is drawn.

Draw Ray NQ passing through Passing through N , which lies on line segment LM.

Placing the Compass nib on the point N,and then Draw an arc cutting line LM at point S and ray NQ at point P.------(1)

To draw a line parallel to line LM

Keeping the Width of Compass Same, place the compass at Q, and draw an arc similar to arc drawn in step 1 alternate to ∠QNM. Suppose it cuts ray NQ at point A,from A mark an arc on the semicircle drawn,suppose the arc cuts the semicircle at point G.Draw segment QG,passing through Q and G.

Option A. Without changing the width of the compass, place the compass at Q and draw an arc similar to the one drawn.

Answer:

A=30

Step-by-step explanation:

Set your equation up as following:

180=90+(x+37)+(x+67)

180=90+37+67+2x

180-90-37-67=2x

-14=2x

-14/2=x

-7=x

Angle A = x+37

A=-7+37

A=30

What is 9 5/9-6 5/6 I seem to not get the right answer every time I try
gulaghasi [49]
If you would like to solve 9 5/9 - 6 5/6, you can calculate this using the following steps:

9 5/9 - 6 5/6 = 86/9 - 41/6 = 516/54 - 369/54 = (516 - 369) / 54 = 147/54 = 49/18 = 2 13/18

The correct result would be 2 13/18.
