Problem 1
Draw a straight line and plot X anywhere on it.
Use your compass to trace out a circle with radius 1.5 cm. The circle intersects the line at two points. Let's make Y one of those points.
Also from point X, draw a circle of radius 2.5
This second circle will intersect another circle of radius 3.5 and this third circle is centered at point Z.
Check out the diagram below to see what I mean.
=====================================================
Problem 2
Draw a straight line and plot L anywhere on it.
Adjust your compass to 4 cm in width. Draw a circle around point L.
This circle crosses the line at two spots. Focus on one of those spots and call it M.
Draw another circle centered at point M. Keep the radius at 4 cm.
The two circles intersect at two points. Focus on one of the points and call it N.
The last step is to connect L, M and N to form the equilateral triangle.
See the image below.

Problem 3
I'm not sure how to do this using a compass and straightedge. I used GeoGebra to make the figure below instead. It's a free graphing and geometry program which is very useful. I used the same app to make the drawings for problem 1 and problem 2 earlier.
Answer:
w=6
Step-by-step explanation:
P=2(L)+2(w)
48= 2(18)+2w
48=36+2w
12=2w
w=6
checking;
48= 2(18)+2(6)
48= 36+12
48= 48
Answer:
diameter ≈ 11 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The area (A) of a circle is calculated using the formula
A = πr² ← r is the radius
To find r divide both sides of the equation by π
r² = 
= 
Take the square root of both sides
r = 
≈ 5.5 feet
Diameter = 2r = 2 × 5.5 = 11 feet
Answer:
A. negative correlation
Step-by-step explanation:
Let two variables x and y, the correlation coefficient r measure to what degree the variables x and y are related.
--- If this coefficient is positive then the relationship will be positive. This means that even an increase in the variable x will produce an increase in the variable y. In the dispersion diagram the points will be grouped, simulating a line of positive slope.
--- If this coefficient is negative then the relation will be negative. This means that even an increase in the variable x will produce a decrease in the variable y. In the dispersion diagram the points will be grouped, simulating a negative slope line.
In the diagram shown it can be noted that as the variable x increases the variable y decreases.
Therefore it can be concluded that the correlation between x and y is negative. The correct option is option A
Answer: AC=12 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem you must apply the law of sines, as you can see below:
Where:
a=13
A=85.2°
B=71.6°
Therefore, you must solve for b, then, you obtain that the lenght AC asked in the problem above is:
