<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 .

Answer:

x =- 3 and y = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

2X-2Y=-8

X=2y + 11

We need to isolate both X and Y in both equations

so

2x-2y=-8

(add 2y to both sides)

2x=-8+ 2y

(divide both sides by 2)

x=-4+y and x=2y+11

because <u>both of these equations are the same </u>we can put them together

4+y=2y+11

(subtract y)

4=y+11

(subtract 11)

-7=y

so y = -7

then to find x you just need to plug in y to one of the equations

x=2(-7) + 11

x= -14 +11

x = -3

What is the approximate volume of a cone with a height of 12 in. and radius of 9 in.?
swat32
The answer would be 1017.88 in³. Use the volume for cones ( 1/3 times pi times radius times height) so 1/3*3.14*9*12 in which would be 1017.88 in³ hope it helps!

What is 5x^2-7x-3=8 by solving using a graph???
Alinara [238K]
Hello!

Simplifying
5x2 + -7x + -3 = 8

Reorder the terms:
-3 + -7x + 5x2 = 8

Solving
-3 + -7x + 5x2 = 8

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-3 + -8 + -7x + 5x2 = 8 + -8

Combine like terms: -3 + -8 = -11
-11 + -7x + 5x2 = 8 + -8

Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0
-11 + -7x + 5x2 = 0

Begin completing the square. Divide all terms by
5 the coefficient of the squared term:

Divide each side by '5'.
-2.2 + -1.4x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2.2' to each side of the equation.
-2.2 + -1.4x + 2.2 + x2 = 0 + 2.2

Reorder the terms:
-2.2 + 2.2 + -1.4x + x2 = 0 + 2.2

Combine like terms: -2.2 + 2.2 = 0.0
0.0 + -1.4x + x2 = 0 + 2.2
-1.4x + x2 = 0 + 2.2

Combine like terms: 0 + 2.2 = 2.2
-1.4x + x2 = 2.2

The x term is -1.4x. Take half its coefficient (-0.7).
Square it (0.49) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.49' to each side of the equation.
-1.4x + 0.49 + x2 = 2.2 + 0.49

Reorder the terms:
0.49 + -1.4x + x2 = 2.2 + 0.49

Combine like terms: 2.2 + 0.49 = 2.69
0.49 + -1.4x + x2 = 2.69

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.7)(x + -0.7) = 2.69

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.640121947

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting
(x + -0.7) equal to 1.640121947 and -1.640121947.

Subproblem 1
x + -0.7 = 1.640121947

Simplifying
x + -0.7 = 1.640121947

Reorder the terms:
-0.7 + x = 1.640121947

Solving
-0.7 + x = 1.640121947

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '0.7' to each side of the equation.
-0.7 + 0.7 + x = 1.640121947 + 0.7

Combine like terms: -0.7 + 0.7 = 0.0
0.0 + x = 1.640121947 + 0.7
x = 1.640121947 + 0.7

Combine like terms: 1.640121947 + 0.7 = 2.340121947
x = 2.340121947

Simplifying
x = 2.340121947

Subproblem 2
x + -0.7 = -1.640121947

Simplifying
x + -0.7 = -1.640121947

Reorder the terms:
-0.7 + x = -1.640121947

Solving
-0.7 + x = -1.640121947

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '0.7' to each side of the equation.
-0.7 + 0.7 + x = -1.640121947 + 0.7

Combine like terms: -0.7 + 0.7 = 0.0
0.0 + x = -1.640121947 + 0.7
x = -1.640121947 + 0.7

Combine like terms: -1.640121947 + 0.7 = -0.940121947
x = -0.940121947

Simplifying
x = -0.940121947

Solution
The solution to the problem is based on the solutions
from the subproblems.
x = {2.340121947, -0.940121947}
