Answer:

When constructing an inscribed polygon with a compass and straightedge, how should you start the construction??

A- use a protractor to measure the original circle into four equal parts.

B- use a ruler to find the length of the diameter and then make an arc above it.  

C- open the compass to the width of the circle and use that as a guide

D- Place a point on your paper and then use a compass to construct a circle.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The answer is</em></u>: <u>D- Place a dot on your paper and then use a compass to build a circle. </u>

 

The constructions are made in the plane with a compass and a ruler. <em>At the same time, many figures that appear to be quite complex are constructed using the simplest rules</em>, placing the compass on the paper and starting to make circles from the marked points.

In triangle abc, the perimeter is 36, and ab=ac. line ad is perpendicular to bc at the point d, and triangle abd's perimeter is
Musya8 [376]
Let x=ab=ac, and y=bc, and z=ad.

Since the perimeter of the triangle abc is 36, you have:

Perimeter of abc = 36
ab + ac + bc = 36
x + x + y = 36
(eq. 1) 2x + y = 36

The triangle is isosceles (it has two sides with equal length: ab and ac). The line perpendicular to the third side (bc) from the opposite vertex (a), divides that third side into two equal halves: the point d is the middle point of bc. This is a property of isosceles triangles, which is easily shown by similarity.

Hence, we have that bd = dc = bc/2 = y/2 (remember we called bc = y).

The perimeter of the triangle abd is 30:

Permiter of abd = 30
ab + bd + ad = 30
x + y/2 + z =30
(eq. 2) 2x + y + 2z = 60

So, we have two equations on x, y and z:

(eq.1) 2x + y = 36
(eq.2) 2x + y + 2z = 60

Substitute 2x + y by 36 from (eq.1) in (eq.2):

(eq.2') 36 + 2z = 60

And solve for z:

36 + 2z = 60 => 2z = 60 - 36 => 2z = 24 => z = 12

The measure of ad is 12.

If you prefer a less algebraic reasoning:

- The perimeter of abd is half the perimeter of abc plus the length of ad (since you have "cut" the triangle abc in two halves to obtain the triangle abd).

- Then, ad is the difference between the perimeter of abd and half the perimeter of abc:

ad = 30 - (36/2) = 30 - 18 = 12

What is the domain of the function using the graph?
Fofino [41]

The answer is B) x is equal to all real numbers.

The domain of a function is the numbers for x that you can put in. Although the y-values are restricted here, you can put any number you want in for x. Therefore, x is equal to all real numbers.
