Answer.
It is Important to open the compass more than half the length so that the arcs made would meet.
Explanation.
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:
9 at minimum
Step-by-step explanation:
a minimum of 9 because it takes a total of 8 rides to take back a full 18 cars back and the 9th ride takes back the remainder which is 0.27777777778 times 18 cars
