Start with a angle BAC that we will copy.
1. Make a point P that will be the vertex of the new angle.
2. From P, draw a ray PQ. This will become one side of the new angle.

This ray can go off in any direction.
It does not have to be parallel to anything else.
It does not have to be the same length as AC or AB.

3. Place the compasses on point A, set to any convenient width.
4. Draw an arc across both sides of the angle, creating the points J and K as shown.
5. Without changing the compasses' width, place the compasses' point on P and draw a similar arc there, creating point M as shown.
6. Set the compasses on K and adjust its width to point J.
7. Without changing the compasses' width, move the compasses to M and draw an arc across the first one, creating point L where they cross.
8. Draw a ray PR from P through L and onwards a little further. The exact length is not important.
Done. The angle ∠RPQ is congruent (equal in measure) to angle ∠BAC.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: Draw a working line, l, with point B on it.

Open your compass to any radius r, and construct arc (A, r) intersecting the two sides of angle A at points S and T.

Construct arc (B, r) intersecting line l at some point V.

Construct arc (S, ST).

Rent and other associated housing costs, such as utilities, are an important part of the estimated costs of attendance at colleg

zhenek [66]

Answer:

96% confidence interval estimate for the mean monthly rent of all unmarried BYU students in winter 2018 is [335.89 , 356.10].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a group of researchers at the BYU Off-Campus Housing department want to estimate the mean monthly rent that unmarried BYU students paid during winter 2018.

During March 2018, they randomly sampled 314 BYU students and found that on average, students paid $346 for rent with a standard deviation of $86.

So, the pivotal quantity for 95% confidence interval for the average age is given by;

P.Q. = $\frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ $t_n_-_1$
