30. Trisha wants to create the perpendicular bisector of a line segments AB. She places her compass of point A and opens it with the width more
than 1/2 the length of the line segment AB. She makes arcs above and
below the line segment. What could be Trisha's next step to create the
perpendicular bisector of line segment AB?
A
>connect the two arcs using a straightedge
B>connect each arc with point B using a straightedge
C>place the compass on the approximate midpoint and draw intercepting arcs
D>place the compass on point B and complete the same steps that she did for point A

The answer is D:

Place the compass on point B and complete the same steps that she did for point A

The process is that you draw arcs above and below the line from both ends, but it's crucial that the compass' radius is the same from both ends of the line.  Then you draw the line that connects the two intersection points to form your perpendicular bisector.

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.

step-by-step explanation:

6 + 24 = 30,   so 6/30 = .2  

if you do 1/5 it also equals .2, so that is the answer.
