The fraction 22/7 has a value of 3.142857, so it has the same first three digits as pi. Both 3.14 and 22/7 are approximations of pi. In fact, 22/7 is close to pi than 3.14 is. Pi is irrational. That is, the decimal expansion never ends and never repeats, so any number of decimal places we wrote out is an approximation. The approximation 3.14 is about 1/2 percent off from the true value, and the fairly well know 3.141559 is within 0.000084 percent.

Here are the steps

1: Put the compass on Q and make the width equal to the distance from Q to L. Extend line LM towards the left side of L and draw an arc hitting the line segment on the left side of L

2. <span> Without changing the width and position of the compass, draw an arc between L and M.

3. Without changing the width of the compass, put the compass on the point of intersection of the arc and line LM (left side of L). Draw an arc above line LM.

4. Without changing the width of the compass, put the compass on the point of intersection of the arc and line LM (right side of L). Draw an arc above line LM.

5. Use a straight edge to make a line from the intersection of the two arcs above line LM to Q intersecting through L along the way. </span>

  • Definition of a Line: A line is 180°

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Set up Equation</u>

m∠BDC + m∠CDA = 180°

(-7x + 12)° + (-8x + 48)° = 180°

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Combine like terms:                    -15x + 60 = 180
  2. Isolate <em>x</em> term:                              -15x = 120
  3. Isolate <em>x</em>:                                       x = -8

<u>Step 3: Find m∠BDC</u>

  1. Define:                    m∠BDC = (-7x + 12)°
  2. Substitute in <em>x</em>:       m∠BDC = (-7(-8) + 12)°
  3. Multiply:                  m∠BDC = (56 + 12)°
  4. Add:                        m∠BDC = 68°
