I hope this helps:)
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Place your compass point on X and measure the distance to point Y. Swing an arc of this size above (or below) the segment.
2. Without changing the span on the compass, place the compass point on Y and swing the same arc, intersecting with the first arc.
3. Label the point of intersection as the third vertex of the equilateral triangle.

These are the answers lol can I get brainliest
Answer:
width: 5.5 yd; length: 8 yd
Step-by-step explanation:
Let w represent the width of the rectangle in yards. Then 2w-3 is the length and the area is the product of length and width:
w(2w-3) = 44
2w^2 -3w -44 = 0 . . . . put the equation into standard form
(w+4)(2w -11) = 0 . . . . . factor the equation
w = -4 or 11/2 . . . . . . . . the negative solution is extraneous
Then the length is 2·(11/2) -3 = 8.
The width of the rectangle is 5.5 yards; the length is 8 yards.
