<span>B. It must be the same as when he constructed the arc centered at point A.
This problem would be a lot easier if you had actually supplied the diagram with the "arcs shown". But thankfully, with a few assumptions, the solution can be determined.
Usually when constructing a perpendicular to a line through a specified point, you first use a compass centered on the point to strike a couple of arcs on the line on both sides of the point, so that you define two points that are equal distance from the desired intersection point for the perpendicular. Then you increase the radius of the compass and using that setting, construct an arc above the line passing through the area that the perpendicular will go. And you repeat that using the same compass settings on the second arc constructed. This will define a point such that you'll create two right triangles that are reflections of each other. With that in mind, let's look closely at your problem to deduce the information that's missing.
"... places his compass on point B ..."
Since he's not placing the compass on point Q, that would imply that the two points on the line have already been constructed and that point B is one of those 2 points. So let's look at the available choices and see what makes sense.
A .It must be wider than when he constructed the arc centered at point A.
Not good. Since this implies that the arc centered on point A has been constructed, then it's a safe assumption that points A and B are the two points defined by the initial pair of arcs constructed that intersect the line and are centered around point Q. If that's the case, then the arc centered around point B must match exactly the setting used for the arc centered on point A. So this is the wrong answer.
B It must be the same as when he constructed the arc centered at point A.
Perfect! Look at the description of creating a perpendicular at the top of this answer. This is the correct answer.
C. It must be equal to BQ.
Nope. If this were the case, the newly created arc would simply pass through point Q and never intersect the arc centered on point A. So it's wrong.
D.It must be equal to AB.
Sorta. The setting here would work IF that's also the setting used for the arc centered on A. But that's not guaranteed in the description above and as such, this is wrong.</span>
Answer:
Plan II
Step-by-step explanation:
A certain county has 1,000 farms.
Corn is grown on 100 of these farms but on none of the others.
Since corn is grown on only 100 of these farms, the population of interest is the 100 farms on which corn is grown.
Therefore, a better method for estimating the total farm acreage of corn for the county is Plan II.
a) Identify the 100 corn-growing farms.
b) Sample 20 corn-growing farms at random.
c) Estimate the mean acreage of corn for corn-growing farms in a confidence interval.
d) Multiply both ends of the interval by 100 to get an interval estimate of the total.
Answer:
x=-7
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the angles of a triangle are 180 degrees
40 + x+57 + 90 =180
Combine like terms
187 +x = 180
Subtract 187 from each side
187-187 +x = 180-187
x = -7
Answer:
66.5 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to find the area of the doghouse which is in the shape of right trapezoid . that is, Substitute the values, we get, Hence, Area of of the doghouse which is in the shape of right trapezoid is 66.5 square feet.
