Mathematics
1 answer:
balu736 [363]2 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

All of these are done the same way.

1. Set your compass to a distance slightly longer than the distance from the point to the line you want the perpendicular to.

2. Using the point as a center, draw an arc that intersects the line in 2 places. Consider those points to be "P" and "Q".

3. You can leave the compass as is, or set it to any other distance longer than half the distance between P and Q. Using this radius, and using P and Q as centers, draw intersecting arcs on the other side of the line from the original point. Consider the intersection of those arcs to be point "R".

4. A line through the original point and point R will be perpendicular to the line, as you want.

_____

In problem 1, the point and line are obvious.

In problem 2, the point is the vertex opposite the line of interest. (There will be 3 similar constructions.)

Triangle P R Q is shown. The length of side P R is 5 n. The length of side R Q is 32 + n. Angles R P Q and P Q R are congruent.
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

<h3>20</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Triangle P R Q, if  angles R P Q and P Q R are congruent, this means that two of the sides of the triangle a re also congruent (Isosceles triangle).

We can say then that length of side PR is equal to that of RQ i.e PR = RQ

Given

PR = 5n

RQ = 32+n

Required

Length of PR

Since the two sides are equal i.e PR = RQ

5n = 32+n

5n - n = 32

4n = 32

n = 32/8

n = 4

Get PR;

Since PR = 5n

PR = 5(4)

PR = 20

Hence the length of PR is 20.
