<h2>Answer:</h2>

A perpendicular bisector

<h2><u>Steps of construction :</u></h2>

1. Place the compass at one end of the given line segment.

2. Adjust the compass to more than half the length of the line segment.

3. Draw two arcs, one above the line segment and one below the line segment.

4. Now draw arcs from other end of line using the same technique and keeping the compass like the same as above step.

5. Draw a line joining both arcs (above and below the line) with a ruler.

These steps give a perpendicular line segment.

Hence it is a perpendicular bisector .

Draw at least six different sized rectangles that have an area of 64 square units

olga_2 [115]

Let

x------> the length of the rectangle

y------> the width of the rectangle

we know that

The area of a rectangle is equal to

$A=x*y$

$A=64\ units^{2}$

$x*y=64$ --------> equation 1

let's assume different values of x to get the different values of y

<u>case 1)</u> For x=64 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/64$

$y=1\ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 64 units x 1 unit

see the draw in the attached figure N 1

<u>case 2)</u> For x=32 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/32$

$y=2\ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 32 units x 2 units

see the draw in the attached figure N 2

<u>case 3)</u> For x=16 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/16$

$y=4\ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 16 units x 4 units

see the draw in the attached figure N 3

<u>case 4)</u> For x=30 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/30$

$y=\frac{32}{15} =2\frac{2}{15} \ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 30 units x 2 (2/15) units

see the draw in the attached figure N 4

<u>case 5)</u> For x=40 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/40$

$y=1.60\ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 40 units x 1.60 units

see the draw in the attached figure N 5

<u>case 6)</u> For x=60 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/60$

$y=\frac{16}{15} =1\frac{1}{15} \ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 60 units x 1 (1/15) units
