Answer:

This image is showig how to divide a given line segment into a number of equal parts by using a compass and  ruler. First, draw the line AB. Secondly, draw a line above and divide into 5 equal distances to make a line AC. Third, using a compass by getting the distance of point C and B to be equal in the distance of point A and D, also getting the distance of point C to A to be equal to point B and D, then to make the Line DB. Finally divide into 5 equal parts by compass.

Step-by-step explanation:  

Hope that help.

A Line Segment has the points (1,-2), and (3,-2). What are the new points after its dilated by a scale factor of 3/2 or 1.5
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

The new points after dilation are

(3/2, -3) and (9/2,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here in this question, we want to give the new points of the line segment after it is dilated by a particular scale factor.

What is needed to be done here is to multiply the coordinates of the given line segment by the given scale factor.

Let’s call the positions on the line segment A and B.

Thus we have;

A = (1,-2) and B = (3,-2)

So by dilation, we multiply each of the specific data points by the scale factor and so we have;

A’ = (3/2, -3) and B’= (9/2,-3)

The length of a swimming pool is 8 m longer than it's width and the area is 105m²​
Art [367]

width= 7m

Step-by-step explanation:

Area= L×W

L= (x+8)m

W=8m

105m²= (x+8)m × (x)m

105m²= x² + 8x

-x² - 8x + 105= 0

(x-7) (x+15) = 0

x= 7 x= -15

x=width = 7m

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

2-2/3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 + 2/3 + 1-3/4 = 1/4 + 2/3 + 7/4. Use common is 12, so we get 3+8+21/12 = 32/12. Simplify equal 8/3 or 2-2/3 hours!
