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

There is a total of 2,512 people attending the fun fair. 5/8 of sttemdees are students and 1/4 of attendees are parents. the res
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

<u>314 of the people attending the fun fair are people living in the neighborhood</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the data given to us for solving the question:

Number of people attending the fun fair = 2,512

Fraction of people attending the fun fair that are students = 5/8

Fraction of people attending the fun fair that are parents = 1/4

Rest of the people attending the fun fair lives in the neighborhood

2. Let's calculate the number of students, parents and people living in the neighborhood

Students:

Fraction of people attending the fun fair that are students = 5/8

5/8 * 2,512 = 1,570

1,570 of the people attending the fun fair are students

Parents:

Fraction of people attending the fun fair that are parents = 1/4

1/4 * 2,512 = 628

628 of the people attending the fun fair are parents

People living in the neighborhood

2,512 - 1,570 - 628 = 314

<u>314 of the people attending the fun fair are people living in the neighborhood</u>

12 8 9 18 22 25 5<br><br> Mode ??<br> Median ??
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

No mode

Median: 12

Step-by-step explanation:

there is no mode because there is no 2 or more numbers that are the same

the median is 12 because if you put the number in order: 5,8,9,12,18,22,25 then the middle number is 12
