Me in geometry!
in the step shown of the construction of a line through a point that is perpendicular to the given line, why must the compass point be placed on points a and b? how would the construction be different if the compass point were placed at random points on the original line?

The compass point must be placed on points A and B because you need to make arcs which would allow you to make the perpendicular line through the given line. The construction would be different if the compass point were placed at random points on the original line because then the line would not be lined up correctly in the middle and it will not be correct, hence why you need to put the compass on A and B.

c. (3,2,6) is the answer.

we'll this would mean that the dunk tank and the bounce house are the same for 20 hours because the 2 represents that the two activities, and the 20 represents the amount of hours they both are. so with this said, it means that the answer is c. the costs for a dunk tank and bounce house are the same for 20 hours.

c.the costs for a dunk tank and bounce house are the same for 20 hours.

hope this .
