Can you double a square with a straightedge and a compass?

Mathematics

I'd say yes.  If you use the diagonal as a reference.  Take the square and set your compass to the width of the diameter of the square.  Now put it on the page and mark a point.  Put the point of the compass on that mark and make another mark.  Now you can connect the two marks with the straight edge and you have a line that, if you made a square with sides that long, it'd have 2x the area of the first one.  That's because the diagonal is the square root of 2 larger than one side.  Square the square root of 2 and you've got 2.  You lust need to make a perpendicular line to the first one to get the box going.

How do you use the slope to prove lines are parallel or perpendicular?
Vesna [10]
For this, there is two rules. The common slope-intercept form is y=ax + b. For parallel, b can change, but a, or the slope, can't change. But for perpendicular, the a should be -1/a, where the answer for times the original equation, or a, and the second equation, or -1/a, is -1. To prove these two rules, you can graph it using random numbers but follow these two rules. if you have any part that don't understand for this answer, feel free to ask in the "Ask for details" section.

Assured normally costs £42 if you receive a 15% discount how much change will you get from £50
vesna_86 [32]
5% of £42 = £2.10
10% of £42 = £4.20
15% of £42 = £6.30

£42 - £6.30 = £35.70

£50 - £35.70 = £14.30

the answer is £14.30
