Solution

Let's break down and solve the problem in the image you uploaded.

Problem 1

You are asked to perform a series of geometric operations.

A) Plot the points A(3,2), B(4,-5), and C(5,-3):

  • Point A is plotted at (3,2)
  • Point B is at (4,-5)
  • Point C is at (5,-3)

B) Draw a line between A and B:

  • A straight line is drawn connecting the points A(3,2) and B(4,-5).

C) Draw a line segment between B and C:

  • A straight line segment connects B(4,-5) and C(5,-3).

D) Draw a ray CD with a 124-degree angle:

  • A ray starts at point C (5,-3) and extends with an angle of 124 degrees from the horizontal axis (positive x-axis). This requires a protractor or geometric tool.

E) Find the angle between B and C:

  • The angle can be calculated using the slope formula and trigonometric identities (tangent and arctangent functions).

F) Name the ray, line segment, and angle:

  • The ray can be called "Ray CD."
  • The line segment between B and C is "Line segment BC."
  • The angle between line segments AB and BC can be labeled as ∠ABC.

Problem 2

This involves labeling points and performing specific geometric operations.

G) Label the points A, B, C, and D:

  • Points are labeled as follows:
    • A: (coordinate to be identified based on grid)
    • B: (coordinate to be identified based on grid)
    • C: (coordinate to be identified based on grid)
    • D: (coordinate to be identified based on grid)

H) Draw a line between A and B:

  • Similar to Problem 1B, draw a straight line between points A and B.

I) Draw a line segment between B and C:

  • A line segment connects B and C, similar to Problem 1C.

J) Draw a ray between C and D:

  • A ray starts at point C and goes through point D.

K) Find the angle between BC and CD:

  • To find the angle between the lines BC and CD, use the slope of the lines and apply the angle formula: θ=arctan(m1m21+m1m2)\theta = \arctan \left( \frac{m_1 - m_2}{1 + m_1 m_2} \right) where m1m_1 and m2m_2 are the slopes of the lines BC and CD respectively.
