Answer:

1. See attachment.

2. x = 7.4

3. PN = 46.6

4. PW = 93.2

Explanation:

Perpendicular bisector: A line that bisects (divides into two equal parts) the original line at 90°.

Question 1

  1. Place the point of the compass on point X and set it to any width more than the half of XY. Draw an arc either side of line segment XY.
  2. Do not change the width of the compass. Place the point of the compass on point Y. Draw two arcs that intercept the arcs you drew in step 1.
  3. Draw a straight line through the points of intersection of the pairs of arcs. This is the perpendicular bisector of XY.

Question 2

If g is the perpendicular bisector of PW then:

⇒ WN = PN

⇒ 9x - 20 = 4x + 17

⇒ 9x - 20 - 4x = 4x + 17 - 4x

⇒ 5x - 20 = 17

⇒ 5x - 20 + 20 = 17 + 20

⇒ 5x = 37

⇒ 5x ÷ 5 = 37 ÷ 5

⇒ x = 7.4

Question 3

To find the length of PN, substitute the found value of x into the expression for PN:

⇒ PN = 9x - 20

⇒ PN = 9(7.4) - 20

⇒ PN = 66.6 - 20

⇒ PN = 46.6

Question 4

As PN = WN then:

⇒ PW = 2PN

⇒ PW = 2 × 46.6

⇒ PW = 93.2
