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¯¯¯¯¯.

Dima020 [189]

It would take 6 builders  36 days to complete the same house.

<h3>Who are builders?</h3>

Builders are those person whose job is to build or repair houses and other buildings.

We have,

9 builders take 54 days to complete a house.

So,

1  builder will take  (\frac{54}{9})  days to complete a house,

In the same way,

6  builder will take  (\frac{54}{9}*6)  days to complete a house,

i.e.

6  builder   =(\frac{54}{9}*6)= 36 days.

Hence, we can say that it would take 6 builders  36 days to complete the same house.

Find the approximate surface-area-to-volume ratio of a bowling ball with a radius of 5 inches.
Nataly_w [17]
Surface area of a ball: 
S=4πr^2=4*π*5^2=100π

Volume of a circle:
V=4/3*π*r^3=4/3*π*125=(500/3)*π=165π

The approximate surface-area-to-volume ratio would be 1:1,5

PLZ HELP ME NEED THIS FAST WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
OleMash [197]

Answer: l = 60 ft and w = 30 ft

P = 2(l + w)

180 = 2(l + w)

Let x = width of his yard

Let 2x = length of his yard

180=2(2x+x)

\frac{180}{2}=\frac{2(2x+x)}{2}

90=3x

\frac{90}{3} =\frac{3x}{3}

x=30ft

l = 2x = 30(2) = 60 ft

Check:

180 = 2(l + w)

180 = 2(60 + 30)

180 = 2(90)

180 = 180

What is 6.7086 rounded to the nearest tenth
padilas [110]
Hello!

Decimals used to confuse me a lot! :D 

When a question asks to round the decimal to the "nearest tenth", it simply means to round it to one decimal place.

6.7086 would be rounded to 6.7 if we round it to the nearest tenth. See, the 7 is in one place after the decimal point. 

The best way to understand decimal places, in my opinion, is to search up a tenths, hundredths, thousandths, etc. chart. Hope this gave you a better understanding of decimal places!
