Give one reason why the graph could be misleading.

X axis is not labelled

-The line is inconsistent in width making it hard to read [1]

She draws an arc radius 5 cm centre A.

She draws an arc radius 6 cm centre B.
She draws a line to connect the points where her arcs intersect.

Explain why Eva’s method is not correct.

The radius of both arcs must be the same to get the center of AB
