An apothem of a square is a perpendicular from a center of a square to one of its side.
<span>
</span><span>1. Put a dot at the center of the square. (You can find the center by drawing diagonals from corner to corner. The center is where they intersect).</span>

2. <span>Draw a perpendicular line in any of the four directions to one side of the square.</span><span />

3. <span>Two apothems of a square (drawn to opposite sides) make a line that is parallel to both (left) sides of the square, a line that is of equal length. If two apothems added together are equal to the length of one side, then one apothem is half of the length.</span>
<span /><span>
</span><span>4. The square perimeter is 40 and it consists of 4 equal parts, then the length of square's side is 10.
</span><span>
</span><span>5. Then the apothem has length 5.
</span>

Mateo is constructing an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle with center P. He draws the diameter of the circle through c
GenaCL600 [577]
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.

Usually, quadratic equations equal 0, and to find the solution you need to make x equal the value that, when added or subtracted to the rest of its bracket, makes 0. This means that your answer is (x + 5)(x - 2) = 0, because 5 - 5 = 0 and 2 - 2 = 0. I hope this helps! Let me know if you would like me to explain further :)
