The options in this question are missing; here is the complete question:

Which of the following best describes the term constructions in geometry?

A. Combining two or more figures together to create a new figure or shape.

B. A way to draw precise figures using a compass and a straightedge.

C. Creating a figure or shape by hand.

D. Places where things are being built that often slow down traffic.

The answer to this question is B. A way to draw precise figures using a compass and a straightedge.

Explanation:

Geometry is a sub-field of mathematics that studies figures, lines, angles, and related features. In this, the term "construction" describes the creation of figures by using a straight edge such as a ruler, a compass (object to draw circles or arcs and measure distances), and a pen, pencil, or similar instrument to draw. For example to draw or construct a circle a compass is mainly used while the construction of a hexagon requires a straight edge and compass. According to these ideas, the correct answer is B.

Solve for x.<br> Sqrt8 (Sqrt2 - x) = 11
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:\frac{-7\sqrt{2} }{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

So first, let's get rid of the parentheses. We can multiply it out to get \sqrt{16}-x\sqrt{8} =11. We know that the square root of 16 is ±4, so now our equation is ±4 - x\sqrt{8}=11. I'm guessing since the problem only has one solution it's most likely only positive 4, so let's revise our equation to 4 - x\sqrt{8}=11. We can use inverse operations to make the a little easier to solve: -7= x\sqrt{8}. We divide both sides by \sqrt{8} to get \frac{-7}{\sqrt{8} } =x, which we can rationalize (remove the square root from the denominator so that it's a proper answer) by multiplying by \frac{\sqrt{8} }{\sqrt{8} } (which is equal to one so we can use it) which is equal to \frac{-7\sqrt{8} }{8}. Let's finish this by simplifying it. \sqrt{8} =2\sqrt{2} (2x2^{2}). We can simplify it further by simplifying the 2, making it \frac{-7\sqrt{2} }{4}.

Hope this wasn't too confusing! I'll answer any questions.

There are two spinners. Each spinner has 10 equal sectors labeled with the numbers 1 through 10.
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

There are 4 prime numbers from 1 to 10: 2, 3, 5, and 7. This means that there are 4 ways to choose the first outcome. There are 5 composite numbers from 1 to 10: 4, 6, 8, 9, and 10 (1 is just 1). So, you just multiply the two numbers together because each depends on each: 4 * 5 = 20 outcomes.
