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.

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

$15.8666666667 an hour on average

Step-by-step explanation:

14/7.5=1.8666666666

this means that for every hour the proofreader is working he proof reads 1.8666667 pages since he makes 8.5 for every page we have to multiply the pages per hour times the salary of every page to get his average hourly wage

1.8666666666 * 8.5 = $15.8666666667 an hour on average

The very first thing to do in every correlation activity is to plot the gathered data points in a scatter plot. It is better to use software tools like MS Excel because they have a feature there that uses linear regression like that one shown in the picture.

Once you plot the data points, make a trendline. You are given with options. If you want a linear function, then you will have a linear model with a function equation of y = 0.2907x + 2.2643. It has a correlation coefficient of 0.9595. That's a strong correlation already. The R² value tells how good your model fits the data points. If you want to increase the R², a better model would be a quadratic function with the equation, y = -0.0209x²+0.506x+2.0232. As you can see the R² increase even more to 0.9992.

Please help. I am getting in trouble so please try to be correct...

Answer: The answer is A 17in2

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question it states that the triangles are congruent (both the same).

  first I found the area of the top orange triangle.

the formula to find the area of a triangle is \frac{1}{2} bh (base times Height).

so I did  \frac{1}{2} 3.23* 5.12  which gave me 8.27.

Since the triangles are congruent (the same) they would both have the same area along with base and height. so I multiplied 8.27 by 2 (because there are two triangles) and got 16.54 which rounds up to 17.

the question also stated to find the APPROXIMATE area (close to the actual, but not completely accurate or exact.)

maw [93]

Answer:

0.514

Step-by-step Explantion:

Denominator = 500 = 2^2 * 5^3

257/500 = 257/2^2*5^3 = 2*257/2*2^2*5^3 = 514/2^3*5^3 = 514/(2*5)^3 = 514/10^3 = 0.514
