Lionel is running a craft table where he will instruct people on how to make centerpieces. He needs 3 feet of ribbon to make 4 centerpieces. For every 2 feet of ribbon, he needs 9 plastic flowers. Assuming Lionel has enough ribbon for all of the plastic flowers, how many centerpieces can he make with 216 plastic flowers? A. 24
B. 54
C. 64
D. 36

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.

the answer is 1/4
