Hunter is bisecting the angle shown. When drawing the arcs centered on points P and Q, why must he keep the compass the same wid

th for both arcs?
If Hunter adjusts the width of the compass between drawing the first and second arc, it will be impossible for both arcs to be drawn in the interior of the angle. <-- MY ANSWER


If Hunter adjusts the width of the compass between drawing the first and second arc, it will be impossible for the arcs to intersect.


The compass width should not be adjusted at all when bisecting the angle. This means that Hunter should keep the compass at the same width as when he drew the arc through P and Q.


The arcs are drawn to find a point on the bisecting ray. If the arcs are the same width, it makes sure that they are equidistant from the points on the rays of the angle. This causes the point to be on the bisecting ray.


thanks!

Answer:

The arcs are drawn to find a point on the bisecting ray. If the arcs are the same width, it makes sure that they are equidistant from the points on the rays of the angle. This causes the point to be on the bisecting ray.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bisection of an angle implies dividing the angle into two equal parts. The ray that divides the angle is called a bisector.

The hunter should use the same radius or width to draw the two arcs, using points P and Q as the center interchangeably, so that they would intersect at an equidistant point to P and Q. The point of intersection lies on the bisecting ray of the angle.

Lerok [7]

Answer: The voltage across an identical resistor = 60 Volts

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Given  that voltage across the resistor is directly proportional to the current running through the resitor.

 Mathematically, it would be represented as

Voltage  ∝  Current

Introducing the constant of proportionality,  k which represents the Resistor as it is constant.

we have that

Voltage  = K  x  Current

When current = 12 amps and voltage = 480v, the constant of proportionality  K

480 = k x 12

k = 480/12

k= 40

Step 2 ,

when current = 1.5 amps

 Voltage = ?

Using our equation that

Voltage  = K  x  Current

Voltage = 40 x 1.5

Voltage = 60 Volts

Which weighs more 5.2 g or 500 cg
valina [46]
5.2g weighs more because A handful of paper clips is 5.2 grams. A handful of push pins is 500 centigram a. Which handful weighs more? So 1c equals .o1 grams so isn't it 5.2 g compared to .05 grams which then means the paper clips are heavier?
