The similarities are;

  • Compass and a straight edge required for both construction
  • Both construction includes a line drawn from the intersection of arcs to bisect a segment or an angle
  • The bases for the construction of both bisector are the ends of segment and the angle to be bisected
  • The width of the compass when drawing intersecting arcs, is more than half the width of the segment or angle being bisected

The differences are;

  • Two points of intersection of arcs are used in the segment bisector while only one is requited in an angle bisector
  • The bisecting line crosses the segment in a segment bisector, while it stops at the vertex of the angle being bisected in an angle bisector

The sources of the above equations are as follows;

The steps to construct a segment bisector are;

  • Place the needle of the compass at one of the ends of the line segment to be bisected
  • Widen the compass so as to extend more than half of the length of the segment to be bisected
  • Draw two arcs, one above, and the other below the line
  • Place the compass needle at the other end and with the same compass width draw arcs that intersects with the arcs drawn in the above step
  • Draw a line segment by placing the ruler on the points of intersection of the arcs above and below the line

The steps to construct an angle bisector are;

  • With the compass needle at the vertex, open the pencil end such that arcs can be drawn on the rays (lines) forming the angle
  • Draw an arc on both lines forming the angle
  • Place the compass needle at one of the intersection points and draw an arc in between the lines forming the angle
  • Repeat the above step with the same compass width from the other intersection point with the rays forming the angle
  • Join the point of intersection of the two arcs to the vertex of the angle to bisect the angle

Therefore, we have;

The similarities are;

  • A compass and a straight edge can be used for both construction
  • A straight line is drawn from the point of intersection of arcs to bisect the segment or the angle
  • The arcs are drawn from the ends of the segment or angle to be bisected
  • The width of the compass is more than half the width of the line or angle when drawing the arcs

The differences are;

  • In a segment bisector, the intersection point is above and below the line, while in an angle bisector only one pair of arcs are drawn to intersect above the line
  • The bisecting line passes through the segment being bisected, while the line stops at the vertex in an angle bisector

Thomas runs 34 of a mileevery day for 5 days. Howfar has he run total?
STALIN [3.7K]

Guven:

Miles per day = 34 miles

Number of days = 5 days

To find the total distance(miles), we have:

Total distance = distance covered per day x Number per days

= 34 x 5 = 170 miles

Therefore, the total distance he has covered is 170 miles

ANSWER:

170 miles

Construct a probability distribution for the data.
lianna [129]

Answer:

X : ___ 0 ____ 1 _____ 2 ______ 3

P(X) : _ 6/15 __ 5/15__ 3/15 ____ 1/15

Step-by-step explanation:

From the data, to produce a probability distribution for the data :

X : number of times blood is drawn ;

P(x) : probability that blood is drawn at X times

Hence, the probability distribution table for the data Given goes thus :

X : ___ 0 ____ 1 _____ 2 ______ 3

P(X) : _ 6/15 __ 5/15__ 3/15 ____ 1/15

Probability that blood is drawn 0 times = 6/15

Probability that blood is drawn 1 time = 5/15

Probability that blood is drawn 2 times = 3/15

Probability that blood is drawn 3 times = 1/15

(6/15 + 5/15 + 3/15 + 1/15) = 1
