What are the steps for using a compass and straight edge to construct a square

Mathematics
1 answer:
Korvikt [17]3 years ago
5 0
1. Use a straightedge to draw line m and label a point on the line as point F

2. Construct a line perpendicular to line m through point F. Label a point on this line as point G.

3. With the compass open to the desired side length of the square, place the compass point on point F and draw an arc on line m and an arc on FG←→ . Label the points of intersection as points H and K.

4. Without changing the compass width, place the compass point on point H and draw an arc in the interior of ∠HFK.

5. Keeping the same compass width, place the compass on point K and draw an arc in the interior of ∠HFK to intersect the previously drawn arc. Label the point of intersection as point J.

6. Use the straightedge to draw JH¯¯¯¯¯ and JK¯¯¯¯¯.

Answer:

2) x = -2 , y = 2

3) no solution exists

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{-2 x - 3 y = -2

y = 2 x + 6

Hint: | Perform a substitution.

Substitute y = 2 x + 6 into the first equation:

{-2 x - 3 (2 x + 6) = -2

y = 2 x + 6

Hint: | Expand the left hand side of the equation -2 x - 3 (2 x + 6) = -2.

-2 x - 3 (2 x + 6) = (-6 x - 18) - 2 x = -8 x - 18:

{-8 x - 18 = -2

y = 2 x + 6

Hint: | Choose an equation and a variable to solve for.

In the first equation, look to solve for x:

{-8 x - 18 = -2

y = 2 x + 6

Hint: | Isolate terms with x to the left hand side.

Add 18 to both sides:

{-8 x = 16

y = 2 x + 6

Hint: | Solve for x.

Divide both sides by -8:

{x = -2

y = 2 x + 6

Hint: | Perform a back substitution.

Substitute x = -2 into the second equation:

Answer: {x = -2 , y = 2

Solve by substitution or elimination 5x+3y=-15 -8x-2y=10
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

x=0, y=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

The system is

(1)  5x+3y=-15  

(2) -8x-2y=10

Let's solve it by elimination.  In order to do it, you have to multiply the equations by suitable numbers in such a way that when you add the 2 equations, one of the unknowns is eliminated

Multiply (1) by 2 and (2) by 3

(1) 10x+6y=-30

(2) -24x-6y=30

Add the two equations

10x-24x+6y-6y=-30+30 ----> -14x=0---->x=0

Now replace this value in any equation, for example in (1)

6y=-30 ----> y=-30/6----> y=-5
