Answer: True.
The ancient Greeks could bisect an angle using only a compass and straightedge.
Step-by-step explanation:
The ancient Greek mathematician <em>Euclid</em> who is known as inventor of geometry.
The Greeks could not do arithmetic. They had only whole numbers. They do not have zero and negative numbers.
Thus, Euclid and the another Greeks had the problem of finding the position of an angle bisector.
This lead to the constructions using compass and straightedge. Therefore, the straightedge has no markings. It is definitely not a graduated-rule.
As a substitute for using arithmetic, Euclid and the Greeks learnt to solve the problems graphically by drawing shapes .
Hello,
a(2)=-6
a(3)=-6*r
a(4)=-6*r²
a(5)=-6*r^3=162
a(5)/a(2)=r^3=162/(-6)=-27==>r=-3
a(1)=-6/(-3)=2
a(2)=2*(-3)
a(3)=2*(-3)²
a(4)=2*(-3)^3
a(5)=2*(-3)^4
a(n)=2*(-3)^(n-1)
Answer
Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
Reference angle = θ
Opposite side = 11.9
Adjacent side = 10
Applying the trigonometric ratio, TOA, we have:
Tan θ = opp/adj
Tan θ = 11.9/10
θ = tan^{-1}(11.9/10)
θ = 49.9584509° ≈ 50.0° (to one d.p)
Apply pythagorean theorem to find AB:
Thus:
AB = √(11.9² + 10²)
AB = √241.61
AB ≈ 15.5 (to 1 d.p)
Step 1: subtract x from -3. New equation should be y=-3-x.
Step 2: plug that equation into top equation. Should be 5x + 2(-3-x) = 9.
Step 3: use distribitive properties on 2(-3-x). New equation is 5x - 6 - 2x = 9.
Step 4: combine like terms. New equation 3x - 6 = 9.
Step 5: work it out. Divide 3x and 9 by 3. New equation is x - 6 = 3. Add 6 to -6 and 9. Final eqaution is x = 9.
Step 6: swap 9 for x in second equation. New equation is 9 + y = -3
Step 7: subtract 9 from 9 and -3. New equation is y = -12
: = = -
