Problem 1
Draw a straight line and plot P anywhere on it. Use the compass to trace out a faint circle of radius 8 cm with center P. This circle crosses the previous line at point Q.
Repeat these steps to set up another circle centered at Q and keep the radius the same. The two circles cross at two locations. Let's mark one of those locations point X. From here, we could connect points X, P, Q to form an equilateral triangle. However, we only want the 60 degree angle from it.
With P as the center, draw another circle with radius 7.5 cm. This circle will cross the ray PX at location R.
Refer to the diagram below.

Problem 2
I'm not sure why your teacher wants you to use a compass and straightedge to construct an 80 degree angle. Such a task is not possible. The proof is lengthy but look up the term "constructible angles" and you'll find that only angles of the form 3n are possible to make with compass/straight edge.
In other words, you can only do multiples of 3. Unfortunately 80 is not a multiple of 3. I used GeoGebra to create the image below, as well as problem 1.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The diameter of each curved path is 200 feet. Since the two curved semi circular paths are equal, they would form a circle. It means that the distance around the two semi circular paths would be the circumference of the circle. Formula for determining the circumference of the circle is π × diameter. It becomes
200 × 3.14 = 628 feet
Total distance around the track would be
300 + 300 + 628 = 1228 feet
5280 feet = 1 mile
1228 feet = 1228/5280 = 0.23 mile
If he runs around the track exactly 15 times, it means that the number of miles covered is
0.23 × 15 = 3.45 miles
Since he will collect $4.50 for every mile he runs, the amount of money that he collected is
4.5 × 3.45 = $15.5
Answer:
55/100 * x = 495
Step-by-step explanation:
The unknown number is x.
55% of x = 495
55/100 * x = 495
Answer:
30.48 centimeters
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that:
2.54 cm = 1 inch
To find how many centimeters are in 12 inches, you should:
2.54 x 12 = 30.48
So Jacob’s pieces of yarn should be 30.48 centimeters long.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
y = 1/3x y - 0 = 1/3 (x - 0)
Step-by-step explanation:
slope intercept: y = 1/3x
point slope: y - 0 = 1/3 (x - 0)
