Reading the question carefully, "<span>He draws the diameter of the circle through center P using a straight edge. Next he opens his compass to a width equivalent to the radius of the circle." - that implies that Mateo is still in the process of drawing the circle by which the equilateral is inscribed to.
The next steps should be:
*He should draw the upper and lower arcs using the compass opened to a width equivalent to the radius of the sircle.
*Make a vertical diameter using centroid P as basis.
*Draw two right triangles facing the opposite directions using the top most point by which the vertical diameter of the circle touches the top most circumference of the circle.
Doing these steps, Mateo will be able to draw an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle.

The given coordinates are:
p1: (12,4) and p2: (-8,8)
Th x coordinate of the midpoint is calculated as follows:
Xmidpoint = (x1+x2) / 2 = (12+-8) / 2 = 4/2 = 2
The y coordinate of the midpoint is calculated as follows:
Ymidpoint = (y1+y2) / 2 = (4+8) / 2 = 12/2 = 6
Based on the above calculations, the midpoint of the segment with the given coordinates is (2,6)
Answer:
is this on edulastic? if you have the option check answer put 12 and let me know if it was right please.
That would depend on the size of your classroom. but, typically the answer is no
Answer:
solution is (- 3, 5 )
Step-by-step explanation:
given the 2 equations
6x - y = - 23 → (1)
8x + 3y = - 9 → (2)
rearrange (1) expressing y in terms of x
y = 6x + 23 → (3)
Substitute y = 6x + 23 into (2)
8x + 3(6x + 23 ) = - 9
8x + 18x + 69 = - 9
26x + 69 = - 9 ( subtract 69 from both sides )
26x = - 78 ( divide both sides by 26 )
x = - 3
substitute x = - 3 into (3)
y = (6 × - 3 ) + 23 = - 18 + 23 = 5
solution is (- 3, 5 )
