Answer:
D. Open the compass so that the distance from the two points of the compass is wider than half the length of
.
Step-by-step explanation:
To construct a perpendicular for
, we must first take a compass & take the distance of its arms wider than half the length of
.
This is done in order to get two intersecting arcs in the top & bottom of
so that a perpendicular bisector can be drawn through it.
After two intersecting lines are drawn below & above
, draw a line joining these 2 points through their points of intersection. The point where it intersects
is the middle-most point of
& now a perpendicular bisector of
is constructed.

Answer:
mDF = 90°
(Assuming arc mCE is 5x + 10)
Step-by-step explanation:
When we have two chords crossing in a circle, there is a property where the angle in the cross point is equal half the sum of the corresponding arcs.
So in this case, we have:
70° = (mCE + mDF)/2
Assuming mCE is 5x + 10, we have:
70 = (5x + 10 + 11x + 2)/2
70 = (16x + 12)/2
70 = 8x + 6
8x = 64
x = 8
So the arc mDF is:
mDF = 11x + 2 = 11 * 8 + 2 = 90°
<h3>Answer:</h3>
x = 2
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
The rule for secants is that the product of segment lengths (on the same line) from the point of intersection to the points on the circle is a constant for any given point of intersection. Here, that means ...
... 3×(3+5) = 4×(4+x)
... 6 = 4+x . . . . divide by 4
... 2 = x . . . . . . subtract 4

<em>Comment on this secant relationship</em>
Expressed in this way, the relationship is true whether the point of intersection is inside the circle or outside.
