When constructing perpendicular lines with a compass and straightedge, how should you start the construction?

1 answer:

6 0

1.) Draw a line segment somewhere on the paper and label it line m.
2.) Mark a point somewhere on the paper but not on the line, label this point r.
3.) Fold the paper on point r. Make sure the line is folded in top of itself
4.)Trace the fold with your pencil/pen
5.) label the intersection point P

Which graph represents a proportional relationship?

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

The one shown in the photo

Step-by-step explanation:

A proportional relationship is one in which the relationship increases steadily, which looks like a straight line when graphed. Also, the line should pass through the origin, which is the point (0, 0) on a graph.

The graph shown increases steadily (it's a straight line), and passes through the origin (point 0,0) as well. So, it's proportional. Hopefully that's helpful! :)

Tatami mats are used as a floor covering in Japan. one possible layout uses four identical rectangular mats and one square mat.

Basile [38]

So by definition, area is equal to the length (x) times the width (y). The area of the square mat is = x × y, or xy
If the area of the rectangular mat is twice that of the square mat, the area of the rectangular mat would have to be = 2 × x × y
This can be written as 2x × y, making the length of the rectangular mat twice that of the square mat's length, and the width the same as the square mat's width.

5(1 + 4m) – 2m = -13

Oksana_A [137]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for m.

First, distribute the 5.

5 + 20m - 2m = -13

Combine like terms.

5 + 18m = -13

Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation.

18m = -18

Divide by 18 to both sides of the equation.

m = -1 <- This is the answer.

What are the coordinates of the orthocenter of △JKL with vertices at J(−4, −1) , K(−4, 8) , and L(2, 8) ?

Sati [7]

Answer-

The coordinates of the orthocenter of △JKL is (-4, 8)

Solution-

The orthocenter is the point where all three altitudes of the triangle intersect. An altitude is a line which passes through a vertex of the triangle and is perpendicular to the opposite side.

For a right angle triangle, the vertex at the right angle is the orthocentre of the triangle.

Here we are given the three vertices of the triangle are J(-4,-1), K(-4,8) and L(2,8)

If the triangle JKL satisfies Pythagoras Theorem, then triangle JKL will be a right angle triangle.

Applying distance formula we get,

$JK^2= (-4+4)^2+ (8+1)^2=0+81=81\\\\KL^2= (-4-2)^2+ (8-8)^2=36+0=36\\\\JL^2= (-4-2)^2+(8+1)^2=36+81=117$

As,

$\Rightarrow 117=81+36$

$\Rightarrow JL^2=JK^2+KL^2$

$\Rightarrow \text{JKL is a right angle triangle}$

$\Rightarrow \angle K=90^{\circ}$

Therefore, the vertex at K (-4, 8) is the orthocentre.
