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 .

Two joggers run 8 miles north and then 5 miles west. What is the shortest
Verdich [7]

The shortest distance they have to travel to return to their starting point is 9.4 miles.

Explanation

The joggers run 8 mile north and then runs 5 miles west. we have to calculate the shortest distance they have to travel to return to their starting point.

The distance traveled north and west respectively makes the height and base of a right angled triangle.

to find the shortest distance to the starting point, the hypotenuse has to be determined.

height h=8 miles

base b=5 miles

using pythagoras theorem

b^2+h^2=H^2\\5^2+8^2=H^2\\25+64=H^2\\89=H^2\\\\H=\sqrt{89} =9.433=9.4 miles

The shortest distance to the starting point is 9.4 miles

How does mathematics connect to the everyday life of an individual?
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

Math is considered to be a part in everyones life, for example, you use math to throw a ball, like the force you use, or the height of the ball. Math is an important concept, and is lingering in our everyday lives, but the reason we take math is to find out of its exsitence, and use it for engineering, etc.

A pencil and a ruler cost $1.50 together. The ruler costs $1.00 more than the pencil. How much does the pencil cost?
Vlad1618 [11]
<span>So we want to know how much does the pencil costs if the ruler costs 1$ more than the pencil and together they cost 1.5$. So lets start with converting dollars into cents. Lets turn this into an equation. Ruler is x and the pencil is y. So together ruler and pencil cost 150cents or: x+y=150 cents. The ruler costs 100 cents more than the pencil, or: (x+100 cents ) + y = 150 cents. So we see that we need to put the values of x=25 cents and y=25 cents to get the ruler to cost 125 cents which is 100 cents or 1$ more than the pencil. So the pencil costs 25 cents. </span>
