<span>1) We are given that PA = PB, so PA ≅ PB by the definition of the radius.

</span>When you draw a perpendicular to a segment AB, you take the compass, point it at A and draw an arc of size AB, then you do the same pointing the compass on B. Point P will be one of the intersections of those two arcs. Therefore PA and PB correspond to the radii of the arcs, which were taken both equal to AB, therefore they are congruent. 
 
2) We know that angles PCA and PCB are right angles by the definition of perpendicular.

Perpendicularity is the relation between two lines that meet at a right angle. Since we know that PC is perpendicular to AB by construction, ∠PCA and ∠PCB are right angles.
 
3) PC ≅ PC by the reflexive property congruence.

The reflexive property congruence states that any shape is congruent to itself.

4) So, triangle ACP is congruent to triangle BCP by HL, and AC ≅ BC by CPCTC (corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent). 

CPCTC states that if two triangles are congruent, then all of the corresponding sides and angles are congruent. Since ΔACP ≡ ΔBCP, then the corresponding sides AC and BC are congruent.
 
5) Since PC is perpendicular to and bisects AB, P is on the perpendicular bisector of AB by the definition of the perpendicular bisector. 

<span>The perpendicular bisector of a segment is a line that cuts the segment into two equal parts (bisector) and that forms with the segment a right angle (perpendicular). Any point on the perpendicular bisector has the same distance from the segment's extremities. PC has exactly the characteristics of a perpendicular bisector of AB. </span>

Adding integers 7th grade
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

Integers are a series of positive and negative numbers. When adding such numbers students have to pay attention to the sign that precedes the numbers in the equation. Generally, adding a value to a negative value is like subtracting the negative value from the positive one.

A square grassy field is watered by 4 sprinklers. The sprinklers spray water in a circular pattern, as shown above. If the field
enot [183]
The answer is (3600 - 900π) ft²

Step 1. Find the radius r of circles.
Step 2. Find the area of the portion of the field that will be watered by the sprinklers (A1)
Step 3. Find the total area of the field (A2)
Step 4. Find the area of the portion of the field that will not be watered by the sprinklers (A)

Step 1. Find the radius r of circles
r = ?
According to the image, radius of a square is one fourth of the field side length:
r = s/4
s = 60 ft
r = 60/4 = 15 ft

Step 2. Find the area of the portion of the field that will be watered by the sprinklers.
The area of the field that will be watered by the sprinklers (A1) is actually total area of 4 circles with radius 15 ft.
Since the area of a circle is π r², then A1 is:
A1 = 4 * π r² = 4 * π * 15² = 900π ft²

Step 3. Find the total area of the field (A2)
The field is actually a square with side s = 60 ft.
A2 = s² = 60² = 3600 ft²

Step 4. Find the area of the portion of the field that will not be watered by the sprinklers (A).
To get the area of the portion of the field that will not be watered by the sprinklers (A) we need to subtract the area of 4 circles from the total area:
A = A2 - A1
A = (3600 - 900π) ft²

Peanuts are sold in 8-ounce and 12-ounce packages.
allsm [11]

Answer:

C) 24

Step-by-step explanation:

8; 16 24 32 40 48

12; 24 36 48 69 72

They both have the common multiple of 24 and 48 in the intermediate multiplication since 24 is half of 48 and is the smallest multiple that is the answer.
