Answer:

That exterior angle is equal to 87 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the measure of the exterior angle, we start by trying to find x. We can do this by adding up the 3 interior angles and setting them equal to 180. The first angle is equal to 43. The second angle is equal to x + 15. The third angle is equal to 180 - 3x (which we know because the angle and 3x is equal to 180). So we set equal to 180.

43 + (x + 15) + (180 - 3x) = 180 ----> Combine like terms.

238 - 2x = 180 -----> Subtract 238

-2x = -58 ----> Divide by -2

x = 29

Now that we have the x value, we can plug into the exterior angle measure to get the value.

3x = 3(29) = 87 degrees

Answer:

Keep the compass the same width and place it on the other endpoint.

Step-by-step explanation:

Max is bisecting a segment. First, he places the compass on one endpoint and opens it to a width larger than half of the segment. Then he swings an arc on either side of the segment.

<u>Next Max's step should be:</u> keep the compass the same width and place it on the other endpoint.

He will draw the second arc of the same radius as the first one.

Two drawn arcs intersect at two points, Max will connect these points and get the segment which bisects the given one.
