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.

No, I would not predict her favorite category is action.

If you look at the percents for the female categories, action is not the highest. The highest category is Comedy. If you have to make a prediction, it would be best to go with Comedy because it is the highest.

What is 252 = 11n + 10

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

n=22 or 252=11(22)+10

Step-by-step explanation: 252=11n+10. Start by attempting to isolate the varyable by subracting 10 from both sides--> 242=11n, divide by 11--> 22=n

PROOF 252=11*22+10=242+10=252

The figure shows a kite inside a rectangle. Which expression represents the area of the shaded region? 2x2 4x2 6x2 8x2

Savatey [412]

The picture in the attached figure

we know that
area of the <span>the shaded region=area of rectangle -area of a kite

area of rectangle=(3x+x)*(x+x)----> 4x*2x---> 8x</span>²

area of a kite=(1/2)*[d1*d2]
where d1 and d2 are the diagonals
d1=4x
d2=2x
so
area of a kite=(1/2)*[4x*2x]----> 4x²

area of the the shaded region=8x²-4x²-----> 4x²

the answer is
4x²
