When constructing an angle bisector, why must the arcs intersect?

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

The arcs must intersect in order to connect to the vertex of the angle.

Explanation:

When constructing an angle bisector, we open our compass to any width, and place the point of the compass on the vertex of the angle. We then construct an arc through both sides of the angle.

Next we move the compass to the point where our constructed arc intersects one side of the angle. We then draw an arc inside of the angle.

Using the compass set to the same width, we move the compass to the point where our first arc intersects the other side of the angle, drawing an arc inside of the angle. This new arc will intersect our previous arc, creating a point.

We then use a straightedge to connect this point to the vertex of the angle, giving us our bisector.

If the two arcs did not intersect, we would not have a point to connect to the vertex.

The arcs have to intersect to give a point which will connect to the vertex of the angle that you are bisecting.

(4 tens 3 ones) x 10

To solve this problem, we must first convert all of the numbers represented by words into their numeral equivalents so we can simplify. To do this, we must remember that the ones place is the first to the left of the decimal point, and the tens place is one place farther to the left. If we have 4 tens and 3 ones, this is the same as 43 (we put the digit 4 in the tens place and the digit 3 in the ones place). If we replace our words with our new numerical value, we get:

43 * 10

To solve this, we just multiply these two numbers together, which gives us:

430

Therefore, your answer is 430.

Hope this helps!

A painting crew reported that a job is 3/5 completed what is the fraction of the job remains to be done

HACTEHA [7]

Hi!

<h3>So we need to subtract 3/5 from a whole fraction. (5/5)</h3>

$\frac{5}{5}-\frac{3}{5}=-\frac{2}{5}$

<h2>The answer is 2/5</h2>

Hope this helps! :)

Four people at pia’s pottery shop each make 29 mugs and 18 pottery bowls three people at Jason’s craft shop each make the same n

BartSMP [9]

The seven people made 383 objects in all

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

Four people at pia’s pottery shop each make 29 mugs and 18 pottery bowls
Three people at Jason’s craft shop each make the same number of mugs and twice as many pottery bowls

We need to find how many objects the seven people made in all

∵ Four people at pia’s pottery shop each make 29 mugs

∵ Three people at Jason’s craft shop each make the same

number of mugs

∴ Seven people in the two shops made 29 mugs each

∴ The total number of mugs = 7 × 29

∴ The total number of mugs = 203

∵ Four people at pia’s pottery shop each make 18 pottery bowls

∵ Three people at Jason’s craft shop each make twice as

many pottery bowls

- Multiply the number of bowls by 2

∴ Three people at Jason’s craft shop each make 2 × 18 = 36

pottery bowls

∴ The total number of pottery bowls = (4 × 18) + (3 × 36)

∴ The total number of pottery bowls = 72 + 108

∴ The total number of pottery bowls = 180

Now add the total number of mugs and the total number of pottery bowls to find the total number of objects the seven people made

∵ The total number of mugs is 203

∵ The total number of pottery bowls is 180

∴ The total number of objects = 203 + 180

∴ The total number of objects = 383

The seven people made 383 objects in all
