A carpenter wants to cut a board that is 5 6 ft long into pieces that are 5 16 ft long. The carpenter will use the expression shown to calculate the number of pieces that can be cut from the board. 5 6 ÷ 5 16 Which expression can also be used to calculate the number of pieces that can be cut from the board?

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.

wait nvm i know the correct answer now its 100%   81 square feet
