A sector of a circle is shown below. Construct a line that represents all points equidistant from MN and MP. Would a reflection across this line map the figure onto itself? Why or why not?

Respuesta :

A sector is a part of a circle bounded by two radii and an arc. So then, constructing a line that would represent all points equidistant from MN and MP implies the angle bisector of angle NMP.

The line which represents all points equidistant from MN and MP is an angle bisector of NMP. An angle bisector is a straight line that divides a given angle into two equal parts.

The steps required to construct the line are:

  • Using N as the center and any radius, describe an arc beyond arc NP
  • Place the compass at P as the center and the same radius, describe another arc to intersect the previous arc.
  • Draw a line through the point of intersection to M. This is the required angle bisector.

ii. Reflection is the process of turning a given shape or figure about a point or line. The reflection of the figure across the line (angle bisector) would not map the figure onto itself. This is because of the change in the orientation of the points N and P.

The construction to this question is attached to this answer for more clarifications.
