The way I figured this one out was saying that if it takes 2lbs to stretch it to 12 inches and 5lbs to stretch to 18 inches that means that 3 additional pounds = 6 inches. Therefore, each additional pound is 2 inches. We know already that with 2 lbs it was 12 inches in length and we can also say that 2 lbs = 4 inches. So subtract 4 from 12 and you end up with the answer of 8 inches.
If it is fractions then the answer is -7/15. Think of as 8/15 - 1/15 except the answer is a negative number
Her next step is to repeat the last process of drawing those two arcs. However, they will be mirrored since she swapped endpoints.
Check out the diagram below. Figure 1 is what she already has. Figure 2 is what happens after completing the next step. The red and blue arcs intersect to help form the endpoints of the perpendicular bisector. I used GeoGebra to make the diagrams.
Answer:
63degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the theorem which states that the measure of angle at the vertex is half the angle of its intercepted arc.
Given
angle of its intercepted arc = 126 degree
Required
angle at the vertex = x =<XYZ
According to the theorem;
x = 1/2(126)
x = 126/2
x = 63
Hence the measure of <XYZ is 63degrees
