3. Avery noticed that of the apples in a basket are red. There are 45 red apples in the basket. (a) Represent the situation with an equation. Use a for the variable.
(b) Solve the equation in Part (a). Show your work.
(c) What does the solution of the equation represent in the situation?

sorry, i don't know i just need points, i'm new here. chao

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.
