<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

The first step in the construction is:

A) place the compass point at A.

<h3><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u></h3>

For the construction of the line segment containing point A and and perpendicular to segment BC using straight edge and compass we have to follow the steps as:

1) Place the point of the compass on the given point and draw a arc on the line on either side of the given point.

2) Then increase the width of the compass and place the point on the compass on the new point where the above arc intersect the line segment.and make arc from both the points.

3) Join the point of intersection of the new arc to the original point A and hence obtain the perpendicular line.

Hence, the first step in the construction is:

A) place the compass point at A.

Explain why 8 x ¾ is the same as adding ¾ + ¾ + ¾ + ¾ + ¾
Mekhanik [1.2K]

8 x ¾ is the same as adding ¾ + ¾ + ¾ + ¾ + ¾

because, when you are adding 3/4

8 times, you are 3/4 plus itself,

eight times,

so you are doing 3/4*8

Simplify the problem 2/sqrt 5
AURORKA [14]
2/sqrt 5

by rationalising the denominator,

2/sqrt 5 × sqrt 5/sqrt 5

= 2(sqrt 5)/sqrt 5(sqrt 5)

= 2 sqrt 5/5

A=$20.20/10gal=$2.02 per gal

B=$26.04/12gal=$2.17 per gal

C=$28.14/14gal=$2.01 per gal

D=$30.45/15gal=$2.03 per gal

So C is the cheapest per gallon.

The picture below shows a container that Jeff uses to freeze water: A cylinder is shown with base diameter of 8 centimeters and
Butoxors [25]
Okay, first we need to figure out what one would make. We need to figure out the area of the base x height. The diameter is 8 so we will cut that to 4 so we can do piR2! 3.14x16 would be 50.24. Then we mutiply that by 10 to get 502.4cm3! Okay, now we would divide 2000/502.4 to find out how many times we would have to make the containers to get to 2000. The answer is 3.98, which we will have to round up since its asks for the minimum and you cant make a container 3.98 times. So the answer is 4!
