Family of Curves
A family of curves is a group of curves that are each described by a parametrization in which one or more variables are parameters. In general, the parameters have more complexity on the assembly of the curve than an ordinary linear transformation. These…
XZ Plane
In order to understand XZ plane, it's helpful to understand two-dimensional and three-dimensional spaces. To plot a point on a plane, two numbers are needed, and these two numbers in the plane can be represented as an ordered pair (a,b) where a and b are…
Euclidean Geometry
Geometry is the branch of mathematics that deals with flat surfaces like lines, angles, points, two-dimensional figures, etc. In Euclidean geometry, one studies the geometrical shapes that rely on different theorems and axioms. This (pure mathematics) ge…
Lines and Angles
In a two-dimensional plane, a line is simply a figure that joins two points. Usually, lines are used for presenting objects that are straight in shape and have minimal depth or width.

To construct a segment whose length is the mean proportional between AC and BC.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given line AB with point C between A and B.

Calculation:

The following are the construction steps-

Step 1- Measure the length of the line segment AC and BC.

Step 2- Now sum the length of both the sides and divide it by 2.

Step 3- Draw the lines segment of same length which is mean proportional between AC and BC.
