A farmer has got one box of oranges that he is sharing with his neighbors. At the first house, he gives his neighbor half of the box of oranges plus half an orange. At the second house he does the same. He gives his neighbor half of the remaining oranges plus half an orange. He does the same thing at the third, fourth and fifth houses. After the fifth house, he goes home. There are no oranges left in the box. How many oranges were in the box to begin with?

y=3n + 1

step-by-step explanation:

this is wrong because it says the second number is one less and i added one instead

solution:

we have to construct

∠m nt ≅ ∠p qr

the steps to draw this construction are

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.

step 3:

option (d).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.

to draw   congruent angles , 1. width of compasses while drawing two angles should be same i.e from point at which angle has to be drawn, 2.the distance between the two points where the compass intersects the two sides should be same while drawing any two congruent angles.
