Which statement best explains why Ben must open the compass to a width greater than half of segment PQ? To be able to create two intersecting arcs above and below the line segment
To be able to create arcs above the line segment
To find the length of the line segment
To find the length of half of the line segment

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116

sina-sinb

cosb+cosa

tana-tanb

cos0+cos x pi/3

20tan

step-by-step explanation:

a

step-by-step explanation:

the denominator cannot be the same as one of the factors.

8 denominator times 2 denominator = 16

and 7 numerator time 11 = 77

77/16= 77/16 ( they cannot be further simplified)
