Reading the question carefully, "<span>He draws the diameter of the circle through center P using a straight edge. Next he opens his compass to a width equivalent to the radius of the circle." - that implies that Mateo is still in the process of drawing the circle by which the equilateral is inscribed to.
The next steps should be:
*He should draw the upper and lower arcs using the compass opened to a width equivalent to the radius of the sircle.
*Make a vertical diameter using centroid P as basis.
*Draw two right triangles facing the opposite directions using the top most point by which the vertical diameter of the circle touches the top most circumference of the circle.
Doing these steps, Mateo will be able to draw an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle.

Hello!
I believe the answer is they can, together, paint the room in 8.9hrs.
Hope this helps! ☺♥
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Put the numbers in place of the corresponding letter and do the arithmetic.
y -10 = 8 -10 = -2
12 -z = 12 -(-12) = 24
3 -x = 3 -(-3) = 6
z -24 = -12 -24 = -36
Answer:
x = 8
y = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Total small box weight = 50x [x being the number of small boxes]
Total large box weight = 80y [y being the number of large boxes]
Total boxes = x+y = 19
Total weight = 1280
<em>Determine x and y.</em>
<u>You know 2 equations. One for weight and another for number of boxes each.</u>
<u>Rewrite second equation:</u>
x+y=19
y=19-x
<u>You have to plug in one into another.</u>
1280 = 50x + 80(19-x)
<u>Solve for x</u>
1280 = 50x + 1520 - 80x
-240 = -30x
x = 8
<u>Solve for y by plugging in x into one of the equations:</u>
8+y = 19
y = 11
