What are the steps for using a compass and straightedge to construct a square?   Drag and drop the steps in order from start to

finish.
Use the straightedge to draw FD ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ and FE ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ .

Keeping the same compass width, place the compass on point E and draw an arc in the interior of ∠DBE to intersect the previously drawn arc. Label the point of intersection as point F.

Use a straightedge to draw line t and label a point on the line as point B.

Without changing the compass width, place the compass point on point D and draw an arc in the interior of ∠DBE .

With the compass open to the desired side length of the square, place the compass point on point B and draw an arc on line t and an arc on BC ← → . Label the points of intersection as points D and E.

Construct a line perpendicular to line t through point B. Label a point on this line as point C.

Answer:

See explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

To construct a square using only a compass and a straightedge first we need to:

  1. Use a straightedge to draw  a line (we will name the line t) and label a point on the line as point B.
  2. Then, you will draw a perpendicular line to the segment that passes through point B ( To remember how to draw a perpendicular line through a segment see the note at the end of the explanation), label a point on this line as point C.
  3. With the compass open to the desired side length of the square (meaning the measure of the side of the square you need), place the compass point on point B and draw an arc on line t and an arc on BC. Label the points of intersection as points D and E.
  4. Without changing the compass width, place the compass point on point D and draw an arc in the interior of ∠DBE .
  5. Keeping the same compass width, place the compass on point E and draw an arc in the interior of ∠DBE to intersect the previously drawn arc. Label the point of intersection as point F.
  6. Finally, use the straightedge to draw FD and FE (the other two sides of the square are DB and DE)

<u>*Note: To draw a perpendicular line through a segment follow the next steps:</u>

  1. Place the compass point at point B
  2. Draw an arc of ANY size that crosses line t twice (one to the left of point B and one to the right)
  3. Stretch the compass larger than you first did and place the point at one of the points where the previous arc crossed the line.
  4. Draw an arc above the line.
  5. Using the same width you used on step 3, place the compass point at the other point in the line.
  6. From there draw an arc above the line that crosses the other arc from step 4.
  7. Using your straightedge draw a line from the intersection of both arcs and point B and this line will be perpendicular to the line and it will pass through point B.

A nonnative fern species is introduced into an area and quickly begins to spread. The number of plants can be modeled by
ivolga24 [154]

Based on the information, there were initially 1200 ferns; the monthly percent rate of change is 68% and this situation is modeled by an exponential growth function

<h3>How to complete the information?</h3>

The given parameters from the question are:

P(n) = 1200(1.68)^n

Where

n represent the number of months

An exponential growth function is represented as:

P(n) = a * (1 + r)^n

Where

a represents the initial value

r represents the rate

By comparison, we have

a = 1200

1 + r = 1.68

This gives

r = 0.68 = 68%

Hence, there were initially 1200 ferns; the monthly percent rate of change is 68% and this situation is modeled by an exponential growth function

The graph shows the increase of the temperature over time in an oven what is the change in the y value and x value on the graph
Hatshy [7]

Let

x-------> the time in minutes

y-------> the temperature in Fahrenheit  degrees

A(2,150)\\B(3,190)

we know that

<u>the change in the y-values between two points is equal to</u>

(y2-y1)

Substitute the y-values of the point A and B in the formula

y2=190\\y1=150

(190-150)=40

<u>the change in the x-values between two points is equal to</u>

(x2-x1)

Substitute the x-values of the point A and B in the formula

x2=3\\x1=2

(3-2)=1

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

The change in the y-value is 40 and the change in the x-value is 1

Is the sequence 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, ... a geometric sequence? If it is a geometric sequence, what is the common ratio?
vovangra [49]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

This sequence is NOT a geometric sequence.

It is an arithmetic sequence, because the numbers are going up using addition, going up each time by 4.
