6kg of potatoes for $2.45 or
15 kg of potatoes for $5.9 or
10 kg of potatoes for $3.92?

The better buy is to buy 10 kilograms of potatoes at $ 3.92, since each kilogram costs $ 0.392.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the cost per unit in each case and then state which is the better buy, the following calculations must be performed:

6kg of potatoes for $ 2.45:

2.45 / 6 = 0.408

15 kg of potatoes for $ 5.9:

5.90 / 15 = 0.393

10 kg of potatoes for $ 3.92:

3.92 / 10 = 0.392

Thus, the better buy is to buy 10 kilograms of potatoes at $ 3.92, since each kilogram costs $ 0.392.

solution:

we have to construct

∠m nt ≅ ∠p qr

the steps to draw this construction are

step 1: use a compass to draw an arc from point q which intersects the side pq at point a and the side qr at point b.

step 2: draw a segment nt and use the same width of the compass to draw an arc from point n which intersects the segment nt at a point x.

step 3:

step 4: join points n and y using a straightedge.

step 3:

option (d).maintaining the same width of the compass as ab, draw an arc from point x such that it intersects the arc drawn from n in a point y.

to draw   congruent angles , 1. width of compasses while drawing two angles should be same i.e from point at which angle has to be drawn, 2.the distance between the two points where the compass intersects the two sides should be same while drawing any two congruent angles.
