<h2>Answer:</h2>

A perpendicular bisector

<h2><u>Steps of construction :</u></h2>

1. Place the compass at one end of the given line segment.

2. Adjust the compass to more than half the length of the line segment.

3. Draw two arcs, one above the line segment and one below the line segment.

4. Now draw arcs from other end of line using the same technique and keeping the compass like the same as above step.

5. Draw a line joining both arcs (above and below the line) with a ruler.

These steps give a perpendicular line segment.

Hence it is a perpendicular bisector .

What number fills in the blank to complete the factorization of 3x + 24?<br><br><br> (x + 8)

alex41 [277]

3x + 24 = (3)(x) + (3)(8)
You can see that there is multiplier 3 near x and 8. You can factor it and make
3x + 24 = 3(x + 8)
So, the answer is 3. Hope this helps!

How does the volume of a sphere compare to that of the volume of a cylinder? What would you say the scale factor for Vol sphere:

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

The volume of a sphere is 2/3 times the volume of a similar cylinder

Scale factor : 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider a sphere of radius r. The volume of the sphere will be given as

$V_{s}=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$

Similarly, let us consider a cylinder with its height being twice the radius of the sphere. We will have its volume given as:

$V_{c}=\pi r^{2}h$

but h = 2r

Hence we have

$V_{c}= 2\pi r^{3}h$

We can divide the two volumes to get a constant that links them together

$\frac{V_{s}}{V_{c}}=\frac{\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}}{2\pi r^{3}h}$

this will give us 2/3

Hence the scale factor for Vol sphere: Vol cylinder is 2/3
