Answer:

  a, b, e (only)

Step-by-step explanation:

The circle centered at A is all of the points that are distance AB from A.

The circle centered at B is all of the points that are distance AB from B.

The points C and D are points that are distance AB from both A and B.

The line joining those points (C and D) consists entirely of points that are equal distances from A and from B. CD is the perpendicular bisector of AB.

Point M is one of the points on line CD, and is also on segment AB. Because it is on CD, we know it is the same distance from A as from B. That means AM = BM, and M is the midpoint of AB.

__

Points B, C, D are not on the same line, so can form a triangle. As with any triangle, the sum of any two segments is greater than the length of the third. Here, this is expressed as CB + BD > CD.

__

With some work using the Pythagorean theorem, you can show that ...

  CM = AM×√3

Similarly, MD = BM×√3.

Adding these two relations tells us ...

  CM +MD = √3(AM +BM)

  CD = AB×√3 . . . . . AB and CD are not the same length

__

AM and BM are on the same line, so cannot be perpendicular to each other.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

When you are studying compass and straightedge constructions, you would do well to actually perform these constructions using those tools on paper. This gives you a feel for what is going on and helps you remember the steps. A computer screen is no substitute for hands-on.

Which graph best represents the solution set of 2/3x + y ≤ − 2?
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is D. Easy way to tell, the less than or equal to sign indicates a solid line in the graph. Equal=solid line. Also when you solve for y, the slope of the line (-2/3)is negative, indicating a line sloping downward.
