Mrs. Greer was making pancakes for breakfast. Baking is an exact science so correct measurements are crucial. She had a recipe that called for 1 1/2 cups of water for 2 cups of mix. She only had 1 1/2 cups of mix. How much water should she add as a fraction, since her measuring cup only has fractions. (This is a true story, I actually did this on Sunday, only an exact fractional answer will count)

cup

Step-by-step explanation:

write a proportion 1 1/2 / x = 2 / 1 1/2. when solved, the answer is 9/8 cup

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.

care to share were the trapezoid shown is ?
