Delmar is constructing an equilateral triangle. He uses his straightedge to draw a segment and labels the endpoints W and X. Wit

h the compass opening equal to the length of the segment, he draws a circle centered at point W and then a circle centered at point X. He labels the intersections of the circles as points P and Q.
How should Delmar finish the construction?


Use a straightedge to join points W and P and then points P and X. △WPX△WPX is equilateral.

Use a straightedge to join points P and Q. Label the intersection of PQ¯¯¯¯¯PQ¯ and WX¯¯¯¯¯¯WX¯ as A. Construct the midpoint of AX¯¯¯¯¯AX¯ and label it B. Use a straightedge to join points Q and B. △QAB△QAB is equilateral.

Use a straightedge to join points W and P, P and Q, and then W and Q. △WPQ△WPQ is equilateral.

Use a straightedge to join points P and Q. Label the intersection of PQ¯¯¯¯¯PQ¯ and WX¯¯¯¯¯¯WX¯ as A. Use a straightedge to join points Q and X. △QAX△QAX is equilateral.

<span>Use a straightedge to join points W and P and then points P and X. â–łWPX is equilateral. Let's see now, Delmar has a line segment WX and has drawn 2 circles whose radius is the length of WX, centered upon W and centered upon X. Sounds to me that all he needs to do is select one of the intersections of those 2 circles and use that at the 3rd point of the equilateral triangle and draw a line from that point to W and another line from that point to X. Doesn't matter which of the two intersections he chooses, just needs to pick one. Looking at the available options, only the 1st one which is "Use a straightedge to join points W and P and then points P and X. â–łWPX is equilateral." matches my description, so that is the correct choice. The other choices tend to do rather bizarre things like create a perpendicular bisector of WX and for some unknown reason, claim that bisector is somehow a side of a desired equilateral triangle.</span>

7 and 1/4 divided by 5/6 as a fraction or mixed number in simplest form
Alchen [17]
First off, turn 7 1/4 into a mixed number, 29/4. change 29/4  /  5/6   into a multiplication question by flipping 5/6 into 6/5 (AKA multiplying by the reciprocal) so you get 29/4  X  6/5. then multiply so you get 174/20. Next, simplify into a mixed number by seeing how many times 20 goes into 174, and then putting the leftovers into a fraction, so you get 8 14/20, then simplify even further so you get 8 7/10.

Did we invent math or did we discover it? I need help asap plz. Don't answer if you don't know plz
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

The only reason mathematics is admirably suited describing the physical world is that we invented it to do just that. It is a product of the human mind and we make mathematics up as we go along to suit our purposes. ... Mathematics is not discovered, it is invented.

Find the missing measures of the following rectangle
Allushta [10]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

In a rectangle

• All angles are right angles

• the diagonals are congruent

In Δ WXV the sum of the 3 angles = 180°

∠ WXZ = ∠ XWY = \frac{180-64}{2} = \frac{116}{2} = 58°

∠ YXZ = 90° - 58° = 32°

∠ WVZ = 180° - 64° = 116° ( adjacent angles are supplementary )

∠ XWZ = 90° ( by definition of rectangle )

∠ XZY = ∠ WXZ = 58° ( corresponding angles )
