Question

Kathy uses the following steps to construct a perpendicular line through a point C on a line segment.

Step 1: From point C, draw two arcs intersecting the line segment in points A and B.
Step 2: Using slightly more compass width draw two arcs from point A, one above and the other below the line segment.
Step 3: Using the same width of the compass, draw two arcs from point B, above and below the line segment.
Step 4: Label the point of intersection of the arcs above the line segment as F and below the line as E.
Step 5: Using a compass, join E and F.

Answer 1

Part A: Which is the first incorrect step?
Part B: Using complete sentences, explain your answer for Part A.
Part C: Explain why a compass works for the construction done by Kathy.

Answer 2

HELP PLEASE?

Answer 3

Answer 4

Part A: The first incorrect step is that she drew an arc above the line segment (Step 2).
Part B: Step 2 is the first incorrect step because point C is already above the line segment so there is no need to create another point above the line segment, only below it.
Part C: A compass works for the construction because you are able to draw arcs of same lengths from the points created on the line segment.

Answer 5

did this already

Answer 6

does that help

Answer 7

i have some more can you help me

Answer 8

and ya it does help

Answer 9

ok
and ill try to do the best i can

whats the other question

Answer 14

Quadrilateral ABCD is located at A (−2, 2), B (−2, 4), C (2, 4), and D (2, 2). The quadrilateral is then transformed using the rule (x+2, y−3) to form the image A'B'C'D'. What are the new coordinates of A', B', C', and D'? Describe what characteristics you would find if the corresponding vertices were connected with line segments.

im thinnking

Answer 16

confused

Answer 17

okay if you want we can skip it then com back if i can't do it

Answer 18

yea lets do that

Answer 19

Triangle ABC is congruent to triangle DEF. In triangle ABC, side AB measures 13, side BC measures
x+13, and side CA measures 16. In triangle DEF, side DE measures 13, side EF measures 3x−20, and side FD measures 16. What equation would help you to solve for the side length of BC and EF? Explain your reasoning using complete sentences.
