<span><span><u>Answer. </u>
It is Important to open the compass more than half the length so that the arcs made would meet.

</span><span><u>Explanation. </u>
</span><span>When you want to construct a perpendicular line to a line segment, say line AB, the follow steps are taken;
1) Open your compass to a radius greater than half the line AB.
2) With A as your center make an arc on top and below line AB.
3) Using the same radius and with B as our center, make other arcs on top and below line AB to meet the first arcs on both sides of the line.
4) Join the two intersection of the two arcs to cut line AB at M.
In so doing the line AB is said to be bisected perpendicularly. If the compass was opened less than half line AB, then the arcs could not have meet.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y= 3.50m + 35

y= 4.25m

4.25m = 3.50m + 35

.75m = 35

m = about 47 movies

Which ordered pair is a solution to the system of inequalities?<br> y&lt; 3x<br> y&lt; 5
GaryK [48]

Answer:

<h2>Any point on the purple region.</h2>

<em>Look at the picture.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<, > - dotted line

≤, ≥ - solid line

<, ≤ - shaded region below a line

>, ≥ - shaded region above a line

y = 3x

for x = 0 → y = 3(0) = 0 → (0, 0)

for x = 2 → y = 3(2) = 6 → (2, 6)

y < 3x - dotted line, shaded region below the line

y = 5 - it's a horizontal line passes througth points (x, 5) <em>/x - any real number/</em>

y < 5 - dotted line, shaded region below the line

What is name the line three way
alexgriva [62]
We name angles in three different ways:
(1) We can name angles by using THREE capital letters like: ABC or DEF. The middle letter is called the VERTEX of the angle. The above angles are read "angle ABC" and "angle DEF." This leads us to the second way we can name angles.
(2) We can name angles by using the vertex. For example, ABC, can also be called angle B; the same applies to DEF (we can call angle DEF angle E). Of course, if there's more than one angle sharing the same vertex this would be confusing!
(3) We can also name an angle by placing any number or symbol at the vertex in the INTERIOR of the angle. So, angles can also be called angle 1 or angle 2 or angle 4, etc.
