Ben uses a compass and a straightedge to bisect angle PQR, as shown below: The figure shows two rays QP and QR having a common end point Q. An arc drawn from Q cuts the ray QP at A and the ray QR at B. Two small arcs intersect between the lines QP and QR. The point of intersection of the arcs is labeled S. The points Q, S, and T are joined with a line.

Which statement best explains why Ben uses the same width to draw arcs from A and B which intersect at S?

BQ = BS when ∠AQS ≅ BQS.
AQ = AS when ∠AQS ≅ BQS.
∠AQS ≅ BQS when AS = BS and AQ = BQ.
∠AQS ≅ BQS when AS = BQ and BS = AQ.

on your paper it doesn't say the answer but the the answer is altitude

step-by-step explanation:

. your answer will contain x - and y -terms. (1 point) x ( ¿¿ 2 − 7 ) 2 +( y 2 − 9 ) 2 √ ¿ 12. what is the distance from the directrix (the crocodile river) to the point ( x , y )? write this equation. your answer will contain a y -term.

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

24−3x=−27

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

24−3x=−27

24+−3x=−27

−3x+24=−27

step 2: subtract 24 from both sides.

−3x+24−24=−27−24

−3x=−51

step 3: divide both sides by -3.

−3x

−3

=

−51

−3

x=17

answer:

x=17
