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 .

The ABC Toy Company is creating two similar pieces for board game, as shown below. Find the value of y that makes the two pieces

Ira Lisetskai [31]

A shape that is similar to another shape will be enlarged by a scale factor.
Each corresponding sides should give the same scale factor

Side GI corresponds to side JL
Side GH corresponds to side JK
Side HI corresponds to side KL

The correspond sides whose length are given is
GH = 4 and JK = 8

Side JK is twice longer than GH

All the other sides of triangle JKL are twice longer than triangle GHI, so we want that the side JL to be twice of the sides GI

Side GI = 6
Side JL = 6 × 2 = 12

Use slope to determine if the following lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.

Gwar [14]

Answer:

The lines are parallel, with the same slope of 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that if slopes are the same, then the lines are parallel. If the slopes are opposite reciprocals, they are perpendicular. If they are neither of those cases, then they would be neither.

1) Since y = 5x + 1 is already in slope-intercept format (y = mx + b, in which m represents the slope) we know that 5 is the slope of that equation.

2) To find the slope of -5x + y = 6, let's just convert it to the slope-intercept format by isolating y on the left side like so:

$-5x + y = 6 \\y = 5x + 6$

(All you need to do is move -5x to the right side of the equation.) So, by looking at y = 5x + 6, we can do the same thing we did from step 1 and find that the slope is 5.

3) Since both of the equations' slopes are 5, they share the same slope - therefore, they are parallel.

Hope this helps! Please do not hesitate to ask any questions.
