Using a compass and a straightedge, a student constructed a triangle in which XY is one of the sides.

The length of the compass so that ΔXYZ is isosceles and not equilateral could be;

Option C; between ¹/₂XY and XY

Option E; greater than XY

We are told that;

Student has drawn a line XY

Now the student opened the compass with a set length to draw two intersecting arcs with X and Y as centers.

Now, for these two arcs to meet, the compass has to be opened to a length that is more than half of segment XY.

Secondly, since the triangle is not equilateral, it means the compass cannot be opened to length AB.

The next step would be t open the compass to a length slightly bigger or slightly smaller than AB.

Finally, the options that apply are Options C and E.

The sum of two numbers is 24. The difference is 15. What are the two numbers?
tatiyna
The numbers are "x" and "y",
we suggest this system of equations.
x+y=24
x-y=15
solve by reduction method.
x+y=24
x-y=15
-----------------
2x=39      ⇒x=39/2=19.5

  x+y=24
-(x-y=15)
-------------------
   2y=9    ⇒y=9/2=4.5

The numbers are 19.5 and 4.5

To check
19.5+4.5=24
19.5-4.5=15

Select Translation, Reflection, or Rotation to identify the single transformation that transforms ∆PQR to ∆P'Q'R'.
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Part A

Represents 'Reflection'. This is so because the y-coordinates of P, Q and R remain the same in P' , Q' and R', and only the x-coordinate changes. Hence, it is reflection along the y-axis

Part B

Represents 'Rotation'. Here, the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of each of the points have changed, and the figure has been rotated clockwise around the point Q by 90°

Part C

Represents a combination of 'Translation' and 'Reflection'. Here either of the two has happened:

  • First, all the points have been moved downwards by a fixed distance, thus changing the y-coordinate. Then, the resulting image has been reflected along the y-axis, thus changing the x-coordinate of all the points
  • First, all the points have been moved to the right by a fixed distance, thus changing the x-coordinate. Then, the resulting image has been reflected along the x-axis, thus changing the y-coordinate of all the points

Part D

Represents 2 'Translations'. Here the image has been shifted by a fixed distance in both the downward direction and the right direction. Thus, it has resulted in change of both x and y coordinates.
