Question

Some steps to construct an angle MNT congruent to angle PQR are listed below. Step 3 is not listed:

Step 1: Use a compass to draw an arc from point Q which intersects the side PQ at point A and the side QR at point B.
Step 2: Draw a segment NT and use the same width of the compass to draw an arc from point N which intersects the segment NT at a point X.
Step 3:
Step 4: Join points N and Y using a straightedge

Answer 1

Which statement describes step 3 correctly?

Maintaining the same width of the compass as BQ, draw an arc from point X such that it intersects the arc drawn from N in a point Y.

Use the same width of the compass as the width of NX, and draw an arc from point X such that it intersects the arc drawn from N in a point Y.

Use the same width of the compass as AQ, and draw an arc from point X which intersects the arc drawn from N in a point Y.

Maintaining the same width of the compass as AB, draw an arc from point X such that it intersects the arc drawn from N in a point Y.

Answer 2

@verity can u help me pleaseee

Answer 3

only if you help me

Answer 4

Ill give it a shot what class?

Answer 5

science

Answer 6

physics

Answer 7

which science class are u doing online? is it biology

Answer 8

oh..idk If ill get it right

Answer 9

@AnimalAin can u help me

Answer 10

The last option seems to solve the problem. Think about it as a triangle. This method makes the side opposite your angle equal. You have already (by the construction of the first arc) made the other two sides equal to each other. This gives you a congruent triangle by SSS, and hence a congruent angle.

Answer 11

Thank you for your help! Iv been struggling so much

Answer 12

No sweat. Do math every day.

Answer 13

can u help me with another?

Answer 14

Remember that you can get your compass out and try to follow the directions. It really helps.

Answer 15

well, if it isn't too hard....

Answer 16

okay ill remember it and heres my next question

If triangle ABC is congruent to triangle XYZ, then which statement is true?

∠A ≅ ∠Z

segment CA ≅ segment ZX

∠B ≅ ∠X

segment AB ≅ segment YZ

Answer 17

I have 2 more questions after this Im clueless with math sorry to bug u with all this

Answer 18

This one is just a question of which ones match up.

A is the first, Z is last: no match.

C is last, A is first; Z is last, X is first: match

B second, X first: no match

AB first pair, YZ second pair: no match

Answer 19

Do you understand how I did that?

Answer 20

a little

Answer 21

If two triangles are congruent, they have matching angles, and matching sides. Unless the triangle is special (isosceles or equilateral), each side is different from the others, as are the angles. That means the order matters.

Answer 22

That's a better explanation im understanding that

Answer 23

So if ABC is congruent to XYZ, angle A has to match angle X, and so on.

Answer 24

That's what I checked above. Look it over again. I'm sure you can figure it out.

Answer 25

wow thank you I needed this help Im clueless with math but I think I can answer questions like that and I got two more questions will u be able to stay and help

Answer 26

The coordinate grid below shows triangle ABC and its image after translation, triangle A'B'C':
Which rule represents the translation seen?

(x, y) → (x−8, y+3)

(x, y) → (x+8, y−3)

(x, y) → (x−3, y+8)

(x, y) → (x+3, y−8)

Answer 27

The question here is "How far did it move?" Check the movement in the x direction and the distance in the y direction from A to A' . Then look for the the correct description. How far did it move in the x direction?

Answer 28

How far in the y direction?

Answer 29

Which answer reflects that movement?

Answer 30

10

Answer 31

I don't think so. Count again.

Answer 32

8 I mean

Answer 33

That's right. How about in the y direction?

Answer 34

3 im guesing would it be the 2nd opition ? I think I got it

Answer 35

Excellent. Note that the motion in x was to the right (positive) and the motion in y was down (negative).

Answer 36

That is reflected in the signs of the correct answer.

Answer 37

thank you for your help I know its hard teaching me

Answer 38

No sweat. Do math every day.

Answer 39

well that was my last question will you be able to help me again tomorrow?

Answer 40

I'm not sure. Stay after it; I'm sure there will be someone that can help.
