Answer:

He is bisecting the angle BAC.

Step-by-step explanation:

First he puts the compass point at point A and draws 2 small arcs at D and E. Then he places the compass point at D and then at E to form the 2 arcs that cross between the 2 line segments AB and AC.

The bisector is the line he can draw between A and the crossed arcs.

Answer:

Bisecting an angle

Step-by-step explanation:

David first draw an angle CAB i.e $\angle CAB$

Then draw an arc cutting AC at D and AB at E .

With E as centre , draw an arc then with D as centre draw an arc

Both the arcs will intersect at some point .

If we join point A to this intersecting point , we get an angle bisector of $\angle CAB$

So, based on the markings that are present , he is actually bisecting the angle.

An angle bisector is a line or line segment which bisects an angle into two equal parts .

Gary used landscape timbers to create a border around a garden shaped like a right triangle. The longest two timbers he used are

Cloud [144]

Answer:

9 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The border of the garden is a right angled triangle.

Two lengths are given as 12 ft and 15 ft.

Let the length of the shortest timber be 'x' feet.

Now, in a right angled triangle, the longest length is called the hypotenuse.

As 15 feet is the largest length, it is the hypotenuse of the triangle. Now, applying Pythagoras theorem, we get:

$(Leg1)^2+(Leg2)^2=(Hypotenuse)^2\\x^2+12^2=15^2\\x^2+144=225\\x^2=225-144\\x^2=81\\x=\pm \sqrt{81}=\pm 9$

The negative value is neglected as length can never be negative.

Therefore, the length of the shortest timber is 9 feet.

From class we learned that in 2010 the federal debt (in millions) was $13,561,623 and the population of the U.S. was 309 million

NemiM [27]

Question A: The per capita debt would be $43,888.75.

Per capita means the amount per person. To find this amount, we need to take the total debt and divide it by the number of people.

13,561,623 divided by 309 = 43,888.75

For Question B, you will need to have the other CPI value from the table.
