Frank is constructing the circumscribed circle for △XYZ. He has already used his compass and straightedge to complete the part o

f the construction shown in the figure.
Which construction could be his next step?


Place the point of the compass on point Y and draw an arc intersecting the two arcs.

Place the point of the compass on point X and draw an arc intersecting the two arcs.

Place the point of the compass on point Z and draw an arc through points X and Y.

Place the point of the compass on one of the arcs and draw an arc through point X.

Circumscribed circle for a triangle is circle where the circumference would cut all the vertices in the triangle 
the diagram already has arcs marked from point Y, with the aim of drawing a perpendicular bisector to line XY.

Therefore the next step is to place the compass on point X and draw two arcs which cross the arcs already drawn (second option is the correct answer)

The points at which the 2 arcs meet are connected to each other making a perpendicular bisector that would cut XY perpendicularly.

Next step is to place the compass at Z and draw 2 arcs between Z and Y points, similarly place the compass at Y and draw 2 arcs that would cut the arcs already drawn. 

Then connect the two points where the arcs meet and thats the perpendicular bisector of ZY.
The point at which perpendicular bisectors of XY and YZ meet is known as the circumcenter. Place the compass on this point with the radius any of the three points X,Y or Z and draw the circle

If alvin sold 60% of his baseball cards, gave away 30% of those that were left, and still had 40 baseball cards in his possessio
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

The number of baseball card to begin with is 143

Step-by-step explanation:

Let The number of baseball cards = x

The number of sold baseball card = 60% of x

                                                         = 0.6 x

The number of left baseball card = x - 0.6 x = 0.4 x

The number of card gave away = 30 % of left cards

                                                     = 0.3 × 0.4 x = 0.12 x

The number of card left in his possession = 40

So, 0.6 x + 0.12 x + 40 = x

Or,  40 = x - 0.6 x - 0.12 x

Or,  40 = 0.28 x

∴   x = \frac{40}{0.28}  =  142.85 ≈ 143

Hence The number of baseball card to begin with is 143  Answer

Three vertices of the trapezoid are A(4d,4e), B(4f,4e), and C(4g,0). The fourth vertex lies on the origin. Find the midpoint of
satela [25.4K]
We have that

point C and point D have y = 0-----------> (the bottom of the trapezoid).

point A and point B have y = 4e ---------- > (the top of the trapezoid)

the y component of  midpoint would be halfway between these lines
 y = (4e+ 0)/2 = 2e. 

<span>the x component of the midpoint of the midsegment would be halfway between the midpoint of AB and the midpoint of CD.

x component of midpoint of AB is (4d + 4f)/2.
x component of midpoint of CD is (4g + 0)/2 = 4g/2.
x component of a point between the two we just found is
[(4d + 4f)/2 + 4g/2]/2 = [(4d + 4f + 4g)/2]/2 = (4d + 4f + 4g)/4 = d + f + g. 

</span>therefore

the midpoint of the midsegment is (d + f + g, 2e)

a chef uses 4 3/4 cups of broth for 10 servings of soup.how much broth is is one serving . let x represent amount. 4 3/4/10 =x/1
enyata [817]
Let's firstly convert the mixed fraction to "improper" and then proceed,

\bf \begin{array}{ccll}&#10;\stackrel{broth}{cups}&servings\\&#10;\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\&#10;4\frac{3}{4}&10\\\\&#10;x&1&#10;\end{array}\implies \cfrac{\quad \stackrel{mixed}{4\frac{3}{4}}\quad }{x}=\cfrac{10}{1}\implies \cfrac{\quad \frac{4\cdot 4+3}{4}\quad }{x}=\cfrac{10}{1}

\bf \cfrac{\quad \stackrel{improper}{\frac{19}{4}}\quad }{x}=\cfrac{10}{1}\implies \cfrac{\quad \frac{19}{4}\quad }{\frac{x}{1}}=\cfrac{10}{1}\implies \cfrac{19}{4}\cdot \cfrac{1}{x}=\cfrac{10}{1}\implies \cfrac{19}{4x}=\cfrac{10}{1}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;19=40x\implies \cfrac{19}{40}=x
