Let x be the length of each side of the nonagon. We then split up the nonagon into 9 congruent, isosceles triangles, each with base = x and height = 12. Then the area of each triangle is 1/2 • x • 12 = 6x, so the total area of the nonagon will be 9 • 6x = 54x.

To find x, we can use some facts from geometry and trigonometry.

• In any polygon, the sum of the measures of the exterior angles is 360°. So each of these exterior angles will measure 360°/9 = 40°.

• Exterior angles are supplementary to the interior angles. So each interior angle will measure 180° - 40° = 140°.

• Each of the 9 triangles are isosceles with base angles measuring half the interior angles of the nonagon, 140°/2 = 70°.

• Cut the triangle in half along the labeled inradius of the nonagon, which has length 12. In the resulting right triangle, we have

tan(70°) = 12 / (x/2)

and solving for x gives

tan(70°) = 24/x

x = 24/tan(70°)

x = 24 cot(70°) ≈ 8.7

Then the total area of the nonagon is

54x = 54 • 24 cot(70°) ≈ 471.7

Construct a Rational Function that has a vertical asymptote at X = 6, and a removable

Schach [20]

Answer:

(x+2)/(x-6)(x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that vertical asymptotes are found in the denominator, so we can start with 1/(x-6)

x-6 will equal zero at 6, so that is where the VA will be.

For the removable discontinuity (hole), it needs to cancel out in the numerator and denominator. (x+2)/(x-6)(x+2)

when x equals -2, there is an undefined y value.

The graph shows the dilation of ΔABC with the origin as its center. Which rule describes this transformation? A) (x, y) → (2x, 2

podryga [215]

Note: Since, you have not added the graph. So, I will give you a general overview of the concept of dilation, the understanding of which will make you clear your concept.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a dilation is the kind of transformation which produces an image which has the same shape as the original object, but having a different size.

Here are some key factors regarding dilation:

Enlargement occurs when a dilation does create a larger image.

Reduction occurs when a dilation does create a smaller image.

A dilation shrinks or stretches the original object.
If the scale factor > 1, the image will be a stretch (enlargement)
If the scale factor is between 0 and 1, the image will be shrunk (reduction)
If the scale factor = 1, the original object and the image will be congruent

Here is the impact of dilation when (x, y) → (2x, 2y):

Dilation with scale factor 2, will have the rule as (x, y) → (2x, 2y). The image will be a stretch (enlargement) as the scale factor > 1.
The location of the new coordinates of the image can be obtained by multiplying the coordinates of the original figure by 2.

For example, the coordinates of the image of a point A(4, 8) will be A'(2×4, 2×8) or A'(8, 16) after the dilation of scale 2 at the origin.

Here is the impact of dilation when (x, y) → (0.5x, 0.5y):

Dilation with scale factor 0.5, will have the rule as (x, y) → (0.5x, 0.5y). The image will be shrunk (reduction) as the scale factor < 1.
The location of the new coordinates of the image can be obtained by multiplying the coordinates of the original figure by 0.5.

For example, the coordinates of the image of a point A(4, 8) will be A'(0.5×4, 0.5×8) or A'(2, 4) after the dilation of scale 0.5 at the origin.
