Answer:

By bisecting the line with a compass and constructing with a straight edge

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to construct the perpendicular line using a compass. This is done by drawing a horizontal line with a straight edge. Using one end of the compass, the pencil is placed about two-thirds of the line and a perpendicular bisector is drawn. The bisecting line is perpendicular to the horizontal line.

Afterwards, the straight edge is used to draw a parallel line. This is done by placing one end on the horizontal line and drawing the parallel line to the perpendicular bisector using the other straight end of the straightedge.

“Ms. Blanco drove her car at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour for 1 1/2 hours, then at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour for 2
lara31 [8.8K]
I’m pretty sure it’s 370 bc
1 and a half hours is 80+40 (40 is half of 80)
and 2 and a half hours, so 100 for each hour.
100+100+50= 250

250+120=370!!

answer : 370 kilometers per hour
