Erik is bisecting a segment with technology. Which of the following describes his next step?
1 answer:
Answer: Choice (3). Draw a circle with center A and radius equal to CB.
=======================================================
Explanation:
Your teacher wasn't clear with this, but I'm assuming the distance from B to C is greater than half of AB. Otherwise, the bisection wouldn't be possible.
Assuming this is the case, drawing a circle centered at A with the same radius, will allow us to intersect the two circles at points D and E as shown below. Segment DE is the perpendicular bisector of AB. We can prove this through the use of congruent triangles. Segment DE cuts AB into two smaller equal pieces FA and FB, so FA = FB.

Answer:
The equation is 4x + 5 = 2x + 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The solution is means x =
Let us put the coefficient of x in the left hand side = 4 and the coefficient of x in the right hand side = 2
∵ 4x - 2x = 2x
Now we need two numerical terms their difference is 1 like 5 and 6 or 6 and 7 or 7 and 8 or 8 and 9
Let us take 5 and 6
∵ 4x + 5 = 2x + 6
- Subtract 2x from both sides
∴ 2x + 5 = 6
- Subtract 5 from both sides
∴ 2x = 1
- Divide both sides by 2
∴ x =
∴ The solution is
The equation is 4x + 5 = 2x + 6
