Given only a compass and straightedge, Greeks were able to construct only regular polygons and circles, thus leaving many constructions impossible to
complete.
A. True
B. False

A regular heptagon (7-sided figure) cannot be constructed with a compass and straightedge.

arrange the equations with like terms in columns.

analyze the coefficients of x or y.

add the equations and solve for the remaining variable.

substitute the value into either equation and solve.

check the solution.

step-by-step explanation:

start with a line segment pq that we will copy. mark a point r that will be one endpoint of the new line segment. set the compasses' point on the point p of the line segment to be copied. adjust the compasses' width to the point q. the compasses' width is now equal to the length of the line segment pq.
