SOLUTION: 1.Kathy uses the following steps to construct a perpendicular line through a point C on a line segment. Step 1:From point C,draw two arcs intersecting the line segment in points A

Question 701100: 1.Kathy uses the following steps to construct a perpendicular line through a point C on a line segment.
Step 1:From point C,draw two arcs intersecting the line segment in points A and B.
Step 2:Using slightly more compass,draw two arcs above the line segment as F and below the lines as E.
Step 3:Using the same width of the compass,draw two arcs from point b,above and below the line segment.
Step 4:Label the point of intersection of the arcs above the line segment as F and below the line as E.
Step 5:Using a compass,join E and F.
Part A:What is the incorrect step?
Part B:Using complete sentences,explain your answer for Part A.
Part C:Explain why a compass works for the construction done by Kathy
2.Brianne used a compass and found that the measure of angle BCA is the same as the measure of angle EFD,and that the measure of angle BAC is the same as the measure of angle EDF in the triangles show below(just regular triangles with no numbers just letters)(One angle labeled BAC the other DEF)
Using complete sentences,describe the next steps required to prove that triangle ABC is congruent to triangle DEF.
3.Monica has a lawn,ABCD.She has placed a watering hose,BD,as shown below.
The adjacent side is 24ft and the opposite side is 18ft.The other triangle connected to it inside the triangle measures up to 60 degrees,
Part A:Monica plans to put a fence along the length AD of her lawn.What is the length of the fence required?
Part B:Using complete sentences,explain how you arrived at the answer for Part A.
