Can someone help me with the first question on this? http://gyazo.com/c467726377d11d5b5733dc45eae52ea5

Answer 1

And no, I don't mean making a circle.

Answer 2

Do you have a compass ?

Answer 4

Yeah, I made the circle and everything.

Answer 5

cool :) which part u doing now ?

Answer 6

I need to know the "How do you measure the distance between a point and a line?"

Answer 7

Pardon me, are you there?

Answer 8

Distance between point and a line is nothing but the perpendicular distance...

Answer 9

you can measure it like below :
1) place one end of compass on the point
2) open up the compass and place the other end on the intersection of perpendicular and the line.


the `width of the compass` is the measure of the `distance between point and the line`

Answer 10

Wow! Thank you.

Answer 11

I thought I made the chords the same length, so what would I do for that? If you don't mind answering that is.

Answer 12

Yes, for part 2 :
open up the compass to the endpoints of chords -
the width should match exactly for both the chords.

Answer 13

Can you attach ur construction if possible ?

Answer 14

take a pic and attach here...

Answer 15

Yeah.
Moment.

Answer 17

..Oops.

Answer 18

Excellent !

Answer 19

Here, if this is easier.

Answer 20

Those red lines are the chords formed by folding along the perpendicular to radii, right ?

Answer 21

Yes!

Answer 22

good, in part2, when u open up the compass to those lengths,
is the compass opening to same length ?

Answer 23

To the end points, yes.

Answer 24

good and that will be the conjecture for part3

Answer 25

Part 3 :
Conjecture : chords equidistant from the center of a circle are congruent

Answer 27

good luck ! btw nice work :)

Answer 28

I'm sorry, it kicked me out!
