Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

To construct:

A perpendicular bisector of the line segment.

To divide: The line segment into three equal parts.

Answer to Problem 1A

Area A=1.72in2.

Explanation of Solution

Steps of construction:

  1. Taking A as a centre and radius more than half of AB, draw arcs on both the above and below the line segment AB as shown in figure (a).
  2. Similarly, taking B as a centre and radius same as above draw another arc on both the sides of the line segment that intersects the first pair of arcs as shown in the diagram (b).
  3. Join both the arcs by drawing a straight line. Line CD as shown in figure (c), is the perpendicular bisector of line segment AB with O as a centre.

Divide the line segment into three equal parts:

Steps of construction:

  1. From point A, draw a line segment AC forming an angle with AB as shown in fig(a).
  2. On line segment AC with the help of a compass mark three equal arcs D, E and F of any length (b).
  3. Connect point F with point B.
  4. Now taking F as a centre, draw arcs which intersect the line segment AC at G and BF at H.
  5. Repeat the procedure by taking D and E as centre and mark an arc of same radii as shown in figure.
  6. With the help of a compass measure the distance GH and mark the same distance from other two arcs as well which intersects the arcs at point K and M respectively.
  7. Join E with K and D with M and extending the lines past AB. Thus, line segment AB is divided into three equal parts.

A linear programming computer package is needed. Hanson Inn is a 96-room hotel located near the airport and convention center in Louisville, Kentucky. When a convention or a special event is in town, Hanson increases its normal room rates and takes reservations based on a revenue management system. A large profesional organization has scheduled its annual convention in Louisville for the first weekend in June. Hanson Inn agreed to make at least 50% of its rooms available for convention attendees at a special convention rate in order to be listed as a recommended hotel for the convention. Although the majority of attendees at the annual meeting typically request a Friday and Saturday two-night package, some attendees may select a Friday night only or a Saturday night only reservation. Customers not attending the convention may also request a Friday and Saturday two-night package, or make a Friday night only or Saturday night only reservation. Thus, six types of reservations are…
