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¯¯¯¯¯.

alexandr1967 [171]

$\frac{3b}{b^{2}} + \frac{12}{b^{2}} = \frac{3b + 12}{b^{2}} = \frac{3(b) + 3(4)}{b^{2}} = \frac{3(b + 4)}{b^{2}}$

2. After the relay race, Larry, Curly, and Moe went to the

jarptica [38.1K]

Using proportions, it is found that each of the 6 people got $0.5.

<h3>Proportions:</h3>

This question is solved by <em>proportions</em>, using a rule of three.

$3.00 is shared between 6 people, which are Larry, Curly, Moe, Alvin, Simon and Theodore. How much did each people(1 person) get?

The <em>rule of three</em> is:

$3.00 - 6 people

$x - 1 person

Applying cross multiplication:

$6x = 3$

$x = \frac{3}{6}$

$x = 0.5$

Each of the 6 people got $0.5.

GAMING In a video game, the user navigates a character across an unknown land using a map. On the map, the distance between the

soldi70 [24.7K]

The question is an illustration of scale drawing

The character have to travel 8.5 km in the game to visit all three destinations and return to their starting point

<h3>How to calculate the actual distance</h3>

The distance on the map are given as:

A =2 cm

B = 8 cm

C = 7 cm

The total distance on the map would be:

$Total =2cm + 8cm + 7cm$

$Total =17cm$

The actual distance between the store and the dungeon is 4 kilometers.

This means that:

$B' =4km$

So, we have:

$Scale = B : B'$

$Scale = 8cm : 4km'$

Represent the required actual distance with x.

So, we have:

$17cm : x = 8cm : 4km$

Express as fraction

$\frac{x}{17} = \frac 48$

Multiply both sides by 17

$x = \frac 48 * 17$

$x = 8.5$

Hence, the actual distance travelled is 8.5 km

Help anyone pleaseeee

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

36 <127

(36,127°)

36 [ cos (127) + i sin (127)]

Step-by-step explanation:

w1 = 2 < 95

w2 = 18 < 32

w1 * w2

We multiply the magnitude and add the angles

w1 * w2 = 2*18 < (95+32)

=36 < 127

36 [ cos (127) + i sin (127)]
