An architect plans to draw a rectangular patio with segment LM representing one side of the rectangle

acxbox22 · Answer

yes i am here

godlovesme · Answer

He wants to construct a line passing through Q and parallel to side LM. He uses a straightedge and compass to complete some steps of the construction, as shown:

godlovesme · Answer

a. 	Without changing the width of the compass, place the compass at Q and draw an arc similar to the one drawn.

godlovesme · Answer

b.	 Place the compass at N and adjust the width to the widest point on arc PS.

godlovesme · Answer

c.	 Without changing the width of the compass, place the compass at S or P and draw an arc similar to the one drawn.

godlovesme · Answer

d.	 Place the compass at N and adjust the width to a length that is greater than the length of segment NS.

godlovesme · Answer

its fine thx though :) @Directrix  @Nnesha

directrix · Answer

What is the question? I see the steps the architect takes in the construction with compass and straightedge.  But, what is the question about this?

godlovesme · Answer

here sorry :/ 
which of these is likely to be his next step in constructing the parallel line?

directrix · Answer

Well, he's copying <N so that the angle he makes at Q will be congruent to <N.
Then, there will be two congruent corresponding angles and the lines will be parallel.

directrix · Answer

The options are "sketchy."  This may be a guessing game but I'll read through the options again. You do that. too.

godlovesme · Answer

i was thinking of a or B

directrix · Answer

I cranked out the construction.

The next step should be to put the compass on point Q and swing an arc the same width as arc PS. 

Which option matches that?

directrix · Answer

That sounds like option A to me. What do you think?

godlovesme · Answer

A
