<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.

timofeeve [1]
The correct answer for the question shown above is the second option, the option B, which is: B. <span>W'(2, 10), X'(2, 2), Y'(10, 2) 
 The explanation is shown below: As you can see, the original triangle has the following coordinates </span><span> W(1, 5), X(1, 1), and Y(5, 1); the triangle must be dilated by a common scale factor, so if you analize the option B, you can notice that the triangle was dilated by a scale factor of 2.</span>

Answer:

C. In step 2, Cindy should have multiplied both sides of the equation by 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll go through the equation correctly, and then point out what would have happened.

3 = x/2 - 5

Add 5 to both sides. -5 and 5 cancel out.

8 = x/2

What Cindy should have done here is multiply by 2, not divide by 2. It is important to remember that you do the INVERSE operation to cancel out a number.

What would have happened here is that we have an extra step (though either way we still end up with x being 16.)

Correct Step 2:

Multiply both sides by 2. x/2 and 2x cancel out.

x = 16

Incorrect Step 2:

8/2 = (x/2)/2

4 = x/4

Multiply both sides by 4 (this would be the extra step!).

16 = x
