Answer 8

@professional Can you give me the answers, but along with instructions, so if I ever have to do it again I will be able to understand a little better?

Answer 9

When you're online next, please help me finish if you don't mind... I watched the video and understood a little, but I still don't wanna get it wrong.

Answer 10

Also if you don't mind... I had this and my teacher reassigned it because I didn't make above an 80.. Could you by chance help me find what it was I did wrong and help fix it?

Answer 12

I hope someone can, I've been needing help most of the day.. I wish I could figure it out myself, but math isn't my strong suit as you can see above lol.

Answer 14

Vocaloid is a excellent math helper and should be able to help once shes free

Answer 15

Thanks guys! Do you think she'll help even if I log off for a bit, where I live its almost dinner time <_<

Answer 16

Most likely :P

Answer 17

Okay I think I figured out the geometric mean.. now I just need help with finding what I did wrong in the proportional

Answer 18

For the proportions, we should use the Triangle Proportionality Theorem

Answer 19

similar reasoning for the r, s, t problem

if you still need help... I guess tell someone like ultriliam to message me, because I'll most likely be offline
good luck

Answer 21

there is also a video you can watch

Answer 22

So would RST look like this??

Answer 23

@angle @ultriliam

Answer 24

Also could u just go ahead and show me the geometric mean, when you get online, so that I can make sure my answers were correct?

Answer 25

@rosalina134 yeah, that is what RST looks like, but be sure to include the angles you used to construct it; it seems your teacher wants to see that

Answer 26

Thank you! Could you also go over that geometric mean? I just wanna make sure I don't get it wrong @Angle

Answer 27

Could I show u how I had my first one drawn up and you tell me if its correct? Its a little different from that, but not by much..

Answer 28

sure

Answer 29

this is for the first one in the construction.

Answer 30

yup that looks right ^_^
the circle should go from the start of a to the end of b
but it's hard to draw with a mouse so I get it

Answer 31

Yes lol! Can I show you the other two, how I have them? just to be sure they're correct?

Answer 32

Answer 33

Do I need to add ABC on this one as well or PQ?

Answer 34

not really, unless your teachers ask for it

Answer 35

Alright...:)

Answer 36

x/2 = sqrt(rs)
x^2 / 4 = rs
x^2 = 4rs
x/s = 4r/x

Answer 37

Wow okay, that looks a lot more complex lol! I really do appreciate your help though... :)

Answer 38

the line is 4r + s long

I'm going to class now
good luck

Answer 39

Thank you so much! :)
