Answer 4

Many of these compass/straight edge constructions are better explained by videos or ready-made web-sites at your finger-tips faster than you say G O O G L E.
Here's an example:

Answer 5

Hello, Devon. Have you tried eliminating any of the four possible answer choices? Which choice or choice makes the most sense to you?

Answer 6

Be certain to make a drawing and label everything you can.

Answer 7

is this correct @mathmate

Answer 8

@563blackghost

Answer 9

@zepdrix @ShadowLegendX

Answer 10

You haven't shared your own drawing with me, so it's difficult to respond meaningfully.

Why don't you immediately construct your own square, and then compare YOUR efforts with those listed in the four possible answers?

Answer 11

@3mar

Answer 12

Well, I am here.

Answer 13

Marvelous. Solve that mate

Answer 14

is this correct?

Answer 15

To draw what?

Answer 16

Devon: I suggested you draw your own square and then compare what you did with what the author proposes you do. That would be a better approach. Sorry you chose not to follow my suggestion before.

Answer 17

like this?

Answer 18

i already think i got the answer but i need it checked... i used that video that mathmate gave me

Answer 19

Oh I see

Answer 20

So your helpers are here

Answer 21

No no @3mar I enjoy watching you solving things
Carry on

Answer 22

is this correct or do i need to switch some around?

Answer 23

3mar will enlighten you any minute hang on

Answer 25

Thanks, @Will.H

Answer 26

You welcome

Answer 27

One minute please

Answer 28

Take your time the question is already started since half an hr

Answer 29

ok

Answer 30

ok this is my final answer lol

Answer 31

can I see the original question with its choices, please?

Answer 32

It doesn't have choices. You have to put the statements in order

Answer 33

@Devonhoward15
All the confusion here!
Have you read the instructions of the question, yet?
It says:
`drag the steps and drop them in order from start to finish`
meaning that you have to place the six steps in order.
Choosing one of the six steps is not going to get it right.
This also means that you have to follow what the steps are.
The steps give a different (I say weird) of doing things, but it does construct a square.
The trick to solving this is to follow each step.
If a mentioned letter (ex. join point L and M with a straight edge), and the letters L or M do not exist, then you need to do something else first.
Proceed this way, you will get the right order.
Give it a try. (Note: there is more than one correct way of ordering the steps).

Answer 34

I need the statements before it is ordered!

Answer 35

is my answer correct though @mathmate

Answer 36

Math mate I guarantee there is only one possible correct order

Answer 37

What is the ordering of your steps? I only see the 6 original steps, and not your ordered steps.

Answer 38

3mar the original steps is t the top

Answer 39

these are my ordered steps

Answer 40

@Will.H
If you have solved it, you will see that there is more than one way, the way the construction was done.

Answer 41

is my way correct?

Answer 42

Right that's cannot be possible because the system indicates one correct possible order. Am just saying

Answer 43

@Devonhoward15
If these are your steps, then try to follow the construction and see if you can do it.
Example:
Your first step says `place the compass on point J`
Where's point J? You have not constructed point J yet, so your ordering does not work.
Get the idea?

Answer 44

He's saying that you need to start Constructing the square on here.

Answer 45

@Will.H
Computer applications are/should be capable of realizing that there are more correct answers than one, unless the designer never thought of it.

Answer 46

Well computer systems are not designed on logic to make them capable to think. They just receive orders

Answer 47

ok just tell me what the first one should be and ill try and do it from there

Answer 48

And am pretty sure all schools indicates one correct answer to any question

Answer 49

Yet I couldn't find the possible order

Answer 50

Exactly. Computers are a reflection to their programmers

Answer 51

@will.H
What about those: choose all that apply
Computers are as dumb as people who programme them! lol
Sorry, should not be degrading people.
Computers are only as smart as people who programme them!

Answer 52

what is the first answer lol

Answer 53

I know that most schools are stupid because I have found many glitches in their systems when I was at Laurel Springs School there was 10 questions who has the wrong option as the correct one

Answer 54

You only have to check each of the six steps to see if you find one that has no 'prerequisites'. I did that to find the solution.
@Devonhoward15

Answer 55

Devon sorry tho. Apparently no one has a clue lol

Answer 56

is it use the straight edge to draw LM

Answer 57

You don't even have to construct anything.
Can you draw LM without having previously constructed point L and M?
No, you cannot. So constructing LM is not your first step.
@Devonhoward15

Answer 58

Good logic

Answer 59

than its use the straight edge to draw line r with two points on the line, point j and point k

Answer 60

That what I was thinking of.
"You don't even have to construct anything. Can you draw LM without having previously constructed point L and M? No, you cannot. So constructing LM is not your first step"

Thanks, mathmate

Answer 61

@Devonhoward15
This construction involves constructing lines r,s and t, points J,K, L and M.
Your first step can be constructing any of the above, but cannot RELY on the above to construct.
