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.

What is the integers from 25 to 41

DedPeter [7]

It is the sum of the integers from 1-41 minus the sum of the integers from 1-24 divided by 17 the sum of the integers from 1-41 is (42)(45)/2 = 861 the sum of the integers from 1-24 is (24)(25)/2 = 300 (861-300)/17 = 33 The answer is 33

What number is 5% of 46?

saveliy_v [14]

46 x 0.05, since 5% = 0.05 (5 / 100 = 0.05)

46 x 0.05 = 2.3

7/12 is 58.33% 
How do we change fractions to percents? 
The steps are too simple. 

First, divide the numerator (the number at the top of the fraction) by the denominator (the number below the fraction). 
In the case above, 7 is the numerator and 12 is the denominator. 

So, 7 ÷ 12 = 0.58333 

Then, multiply the result by 100. 0.5833 x 100= 58.33 

Finally, add the percent (%) sign to the result. 

Therefore, 7/12 is 58.33%.
