can someone help with Unit 2 Activity: Euclid's Construction

Answer 1

plz help

Answer 2

i dont understand dis

Answer 3

@saifoo.khan

Answer 4

Where are you stuck?

Answer 5

i just dont know how to explain it

Answer 6

i dont know how to explain it in a diffrent way

Answer 7

Just rephrase them.
Break the paragraph given into 3 parts. And write it in your own words.

Answer 8

Answer 13

help i dont under stand this

Answer 14

what does this mean

Let the circle BCD with center A and radius AB have been drawn

Answer 15

there is a circle bdc with the radius a

Answer 16

Right, the words mean construct a circle with center A and radius AB

Next sentence
again let the circle ACE with center B and radius BA have been drawn

notice in this second circle its center B is on the circumference of the first circle.
AND its radius is BA which (obviously?) is the same length as AB (same line, just different direction.)

Can you write that all down?

Answer 17

ill try step1
a circle (BCD) has a radius (A)

Answer 18

*correct

Answer 19

Generally we use a single letter for a point. and 2 points define a line segment
so the radius should be AB (from center point A to B on the circumference)

Answer 20

soo wat can i put for step one

Answer 21

I would say the important things about a circle where is its center, how long is its radius

Answer 22

draw two circles ( BCD and EAC) that intersect

Answer 23

dose that work

Answer 24

It is not just any two circles. The second circle's center is on the circumference of the first circle (at point B). The second circles circumference goes through the center of the first circle ( point A is on the circumference of the second circle)

See if you can write that down.

Answer 25

i can make that 2 steps right

Answer 26

yes

Answer 27

ok

Answer 28

for the last step what can i put?

Answer 29

And let the straight-lines CA and CB have been joined from the point C, where the circles cut one another, to the points A and B

that says, the circles meet (intersect) at point C. what do you think the rest of it means?

Answer 30

that the circumference of the second circle (A) becomes the radius of the first and the circumference of the first circle (B) becomes the radius of the second circle

Answer 31

no, don't say that. radius and circumference are different.

And let the straight-lines CA and CB have been joined from the point C, where the circles cut one another, to the points A and B

another way to say this might be
draw
straight line CA from point C to the point A
and
straight line CB from point C to the point B

Answer 32

ooh ok i get that one and for the paragraph i think i got i t bt to make sure ill show you

Answer 33

Since A is the radius of CBD and B is the radius of ACE, they both meet at point C. so since C is equal to A and B then that must mean that A is equal to B and B is equal to A. So there will be lines AB, AC, BA, BC, CB, CA.
