Answer:

Compasses and straightedges.

Step-by-step explanation:

The tool used by the ancient "Greek" mathematician to make geometric construction was the compasses and straightedges.

The compasses and straightedges can be used to combine to transfer the segment of the given length onto a line.

This can be done by only the following two steps:

Put point A and open it, till mark is visible on point B.
Liftoff and put the point on C and mark it on point D till its visible.

The compasses and straightedges are used to trace the part of the triangle.

Answer:

3.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Lydia:

3 gallons of gas = 114 miles

We want to know how many miles a friend can travel on one gallon of gas, so we divide both sides by 3

1 gallon of gas = 114/3 miles = 38 miles

Lucy:

One point is

10x corresponds to 415y

10 gallons = 415 miles

divide both sides by 10 to get one gallon on a side

1 gallon = 41.5 miles

Lydia:

38 miles = 1 gallon

Lucy:

41.5 miles = 1 gallon

For 1 gallon, the difference is 3.5 miles, with Lydia having 3.5 miles less than Lucy.

RS= 4y+2, ST = 3y+8, and RT = 38 what is the value of y

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

RS= 4y+2, ST = 3y+8, and RT = 38

We need to find the value of y.

As,

RT = RS+ST

Put all the values,

38 = 4y+2+3y+8

38-2-8 = 4y+3y

28 = 7y

y = 4

So, the value of y is equal to 4.
