In her garden Pam plants the seed 5 1/2 inches below the ground. After one month the tomato plant has grown a total of 10 1/4 inches. How many inches is the plant above the ground?

4 3/4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert to improper fractions with the least common denominator so you can subtract them.

41/4 - 22/4 = 19/4

or

4 3/4

step-by-step explanation:

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.
