Explain how you could use the construction tool or a compass and straightedge to create a line segment that is twice as long.

Use a compass to measure the length of AB. Draw an arc from point B (or point A) with that distance. Extend line AB through that arc and label the intersection as point C. AC is twice the length of AB.

answer

d. 10

explanation

the distance from point y to wx is the height of the triangle.

using pythagoras theorem,

group similar terms to get,

this implies that,

take positive square root of both sides to get,

this implies that,
