Answer: False

Step-by-step explanation:

The ancient Greeks required a straightedge and a compass to construct a perpendicular bisector for a given line segment.

They made perpendicular bisector by using following steps.

Let given a line segment XY, then to construct the perpendicular bisector.

Step 1)Draw a circle centered at X and passing through point Y.

Step2)Draw a circle centered at Y and passing through point B.

Step3)The two circles intersect at two points (above and below of line segment XY). Draw the line through these two points. This line is the perpendicular bisector to XY.

Answer:

The answer is 94.5

Step-by-step:

This is actually quite simple. Although, in order to do this you will need a calculator. First, you identify which trigonomic function you will use in order to find the value of x. for this problem you need to use the COS function. The equation for this is COS67= 67/x. Because you are trying to find x you would multiply each side by x. now the equation is xCOS67= 67. because you still can't find the value of x by doing this you will need to get x by itself. To get x by itself divide each side by COS67. the equation is now x= 94/ COS67. This is where the calculator comes in. On the calculator enter 94 divided by 67 then COS function. This gives you the measure of RS.
