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

Answer:
4x + 5y = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
4x + 5y = 20
5y = -4x + 20 (Subtract 4x to isolate 5y. Put the 4x in front of the 20)
y = + 4 (Divide all by 5 to isolate y)
And then it's done and in slope-intercept form
or
is greater than -1 but less than 0
I hope this helped :)
REVISED ANSWER.
In the picture, I have drawn on the example given. the RC and PD are the same because They are across from each other perfectly. So the answer is still PD=400m but if there can be two answers then I would have to say another possiblity would be 200m for the diameter of the pond. The wording of this problem is tricky and the picture can throw you off a bit but I did my best to answer properly here.
So if you could mark brainliest that would be awesome.
