When constructing perpendicular lines with a compass and straightedge, how should you start the construction?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Open the compass and mark two points of intersection between arcs from the given line. Use a straightedge to find the length of the given line and then make an arc above it. Open the compass to the width of the original line to measure it. Use a straightedge to create two arcs above and below the original line.

hello :)

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Draw a line.

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

Open the compass and mark two points of intersection between arcs from the given line.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what answer choice would that be? @mathstudent55

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

it'z a

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

Is that all?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need you to check my answers for me ? @Here_to_Help15

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

ok : P

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

is it paper that your doing this on or is it sometype of online school?

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

You still there?

When constructing inscribed polygons and parallel lines, how are the steps similar? A protractor and ruler are used to take accurate measurements. A compass is used to draw arcs. Four right angles are created. There are no similarities. I chose answer B.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its online school @Here_to_Help15

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

Kool im online school and i got the same question :P

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

Is this 1 worth 5 points?

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

4 right triangles are created

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you sure that's the right answer? @Here_to_Help15

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

yes how would i know this lol When constructing parallel lines with a compass and straightedge, how should you start the construction? Measure the length of the original line and make an arc. Create a line that intersects the given line with your straightedge. Open the compass to the width of the line and draw two arcs. Use a straightedge to create two arcs above and below the line. Question 4 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points)

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

is that the next1?hahaha

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

U still there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah something like that @Here_to_Help15

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

well its open the compass to the width of the line and draw two arcs. for the 3rd 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

r u sure these answers r right @Here_to_Help15

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

the last 1 is Which step is included in the construction of inscribed polygons? Measure the diameter of the circle with a straightedge. Connect two arcs together with a compass. Measure the length of each side with a straightedge. Create a circle from a given center with a compass

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

wait a sec the 3rd 1 is D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the last one is c right? @Here_to_Help15

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

nononono the 3rd 1 is c

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

wait hold on i'll make it easy here

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

Open the compass and mark two points of intersection between arcs from the given line. Four right angles are created. Use a straightedge to create two arcs above and below the line Measure the length of each side with a straightedge

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

What grade u in?

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

nvm there u go and yes i am sure those are right :P

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

Did u get them right?

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

Did i do something wrong :(
