Should students use a compass and straightedge or drawing programs?
They should be required to use drawing programs because they are more efficient and kids understand them better.
Is 164 a perfect square?
no. 64 is a perfect square and so is 100 but because the property that connects those two numbers is addition it is not a perfect square.
Who is the Greatest mathematician Brahmagupta or Archimedes Archimedes worked on geometry. Brahmagupta found zero negative numbers and four fundamental operations addition subtraction multipl?
Neither of them. They achievements were very useful but are not directly comparable because they are in different areas of study.
Why were attempts to square the circle and duplicate the cube by simple geometrical methods important to the field of mathematics?
About 2400 BCE the Greeks tried to construct a square that had the same area as a circle, using only a straightedge and compasses. They also tried to construct a cube having twice the volume of a given cube, with the same tools. The failure of these attempts led mathematicians to realise that the cube root of two and the square root of pi are both irrational. Pi is not only irrational, but also transcendental. This is an important difference because the cube root of two can be constructed by geometrical methods that are more complex than just straightedge and compasses, while pi can not be constructed by any geometrical method involving only a finite number of steps. It took more than two thousand years from the death of Hippocrates of Chios (not to be confused with Hippocrates the physician) before mathematicians began to get a real grip on irrational and transcendental numbers. As is so often the case in Mathematics and Science, the long search led to many, many other discoveries along the way.
Is it possible to have a quadrilateral with four acute angles?
No, It is not possible to have a quadrilatera with four acute angles because the addition of four angles for quadrilateral = 360 & acute angle is less than 90 degree

They should be required to use drawing programs because they are more efficient and kids understand them better.
Are the diagonals of a rhombus bisecting?
Well no because if they were, the shape wouldn't be a polygon. Hope I helped!
Can you double cube using a straightedge and compass?
No, because a cube is a 3 dimensional shape but yes if it is in the shape of a 2 dimensional square.
When Given point b is the interior of angle adc conjecture adb is congruent to bdc.?
False; just because it is in the interior does not mean it is on the bisecting line.
How is a ruler different from a straightedge?
The straightedge can only be used to draw a straight line, or check to see if a surface is flat, but cannot measure length. A ruler can be used to draw a straight line or check for flatness, and a ruler can also measure length because it has evenly spaced markes denoting inches and centimeters.
Why was a ratification process required?
The colonists required the ratification process because they wanted the Bill of Rights to be included in the US Constitution. With the addition of the Bill of Rights more colonists could set aside their fears of having their rights and freedoms taken away from them by the government.
How many axes of semmetry has an isosceles triangle?
The answer is one because two of the sides in an isosceles triangle are the same. If this is true, then only the line bisecting down in-between these two lines can be an axis of symmetry.
What signs go with only the associative property?
The answer cannot be addition of numbers because that sign can also go with the commutative property, not "only the associative property" as required by the question. For the same reason, the answer cannot be multiplication of numbers. Also, in both cases, multiplication is distributive over addition.
How is multiplication related to addition?
well, multiplication is related to additon because addition comes from multiplication because in bidmas multiplication comes first then addition that is the main term cause.
How did Gandhi get out of jail?
On May 6, 1944, Gandhi was released from jail because of his failing health and surgery that was required. In addition, the nation did not want to see him die in jail and cause an outrage among the people.
How can addition properties help add whole numbers?
Because that is what addition means. If you want to add whole numbers, the process that you use is addition.
How can addition properties help me add whole numbers?
Because that is what addition means. If you want to add whole numbers, the process that you use is addition.
