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

Mathematics

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¯¯¯¯¯.

The answer is 90/91. 6 1/2 - 7/8 divided by 5 11/16. Turn 6 1/2 and 5 11/16 to an improper fraction. 6 1/2= 13/2. 5/11= 91/16. Then you have to get each fraction to have equal denominators. All of them can have a denominator of 16. So you times everything to get a denominator of 16. 13/2= 104/16. 7/8=14/16. 91/16 stays the same because the denominator is already 16. Next you subtract 104/16 and 14/16 and get 45/8.( because you need to put it in simplest form.) Lastly you divide 45/8 by 91/16 and get 90/91.

Which operation involving complex numbers requires the use of a conjugate to be carried​ out?
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

The correct answer will be "Division".

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The procedure represents numerous values requiring something like a conjugate to have been done becomes division, since the denominator conjugate multiplies the numeric values including its quotient to represent the quotient of several complex numbers throughout the standard language.
  • It is indeed a method used to separate a set of items across equal proportions.
