GIVING BRAINLIES Which step is the same in the construction of a perpendicular line through a point on a line and the construction of a perpendicular line through a point off a line? Create only one arc on the original line. Create two arcs on the original line. Place the compass on only one point off the original line. Place the compass on only one point on the original line.

D.Place the compass on a point on the original line.

Complete Question:

A.Create only one arc that intersects the original line.

B.Create two arcs that intersect the original line.

C.Place the compass on a point off the original line.

D.Place the compass on a point on the original line.

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the steps of constructing parallel lines and a perpendicular line through a point on the line

# Contracting parallel lines

- Given: Line AB and point P not on AB

1. Draw a slant line through point P and intersects AB at point C, this line is the transversal of the parallel lines

2. Place the pin of the compass at point C and draw an arc intersects AB at D and CP at E

3. Without changing the distance of the compass put the pin of the compass on point P and draw an arc intersects CP at point Q

4. Use the compass to measure the distance from D to E and place the pin of the compass at point Q and draw an arc intersects the arc from P to CP at point U

5. Join P and U by a line this line is parallel to AB

# Constructing a perpendicular line through a point on the line

- Given line AB and point P lies on it

1. Place your compass pin at P and draw an arc of any size below AB that crosses the line twice at points C and D

2. Stretch the compass to a larger distance

3. Place the compass pin on point C and draw a small arc above the line

4. Without changing the distance of the compass place the compass pin on point D and draw another arc intersects the arc from C at point E

5. Using a straightedge, join P and E where PE is perpendicular to AB

* Lets find the same steps in the constructions

∵ In first construction we put the pin of the compass at point C which  lies in the original line AB

∵ In second construction we put the pin of the compass at point P which lies in the original line AB

∴ The common step is:  "Place the compass on a point on the original line"

the population of other specie of birds will decline or other specie of birds will find some alternate source of food to survive.

explanation:

according to the competitive exclusion principle, which is also known as gause's law, two specie living in the same niche and feeding on the same resource cannot co-exist stably.

as we have well studied the theory of natural selection which states that only those organisms survive which have better tendency to compete for food and adapt to the environmental conditions.

coming towards the question, what wi ll happen when one species outcompetes the other for the small fish , the other specie will not get enough food and will start to die or decline in population. eventually either other specie needs to find another alternative food source for itself or migrate at some other location where there is less competition otherwise it will just not exist anymore at that niche.

hope it !
