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

Find the m < t rounded to the nearest degree
serg [7]

Answer:

28° (Answer A)

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that tan t = 8/15 = 0.533

Applying the inverse tangent function, we get

t = arctan 0.533 = 0.4900 radian

Mult. this by the radian-degree conversion factor results in:  28.072°

and when rounded off to the nearest degree, the measure of angle T is 28°  (Answer A)

trapecia [35]
Spencer would be the correct one because it's easier to keep your variables positive when trying to solve. Therefore, in order to keep the variable positive, one would have to add 4x to both sides.
