Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You cannot do this unless you are certain that P is the center of the octagon. I don't know if that's solvable from the information given. So I will make the assumption that P is the center.

Determine the midpoint of BC. Call it E.  Draw a line from P to E. By symmetry EP = AP. BE = 1/2 * BC = 19/2 = 9.5 by construction

You have a trapezoid witch is 1/4 the area of the octagon. Three more trapezoids can fit into the octagon.

Formula

Area = (AP + BE)*PE / 2

Givens

AP = 12

BE = 9.5

PE = 12

Solution

Put the givens and constructions into the formula

Area = (12 + 9.5)*12/2

Area = 21.5 * 12/2

Area = 21.5 * 6

Area = 129

That's the area of one of the trapezoids. Multiply the area here by 4.

You get 516.

First symmetrically cut the octagon to get 8 pieces. (So that you will get the idea that this polygon is divided into 8 triangles)

Then find the area of one of the triangles:

Area of Triangle = \frac{1}{2} * b* h

A = \frac{1}{2} × 12 × 19

A = 114 cm²

To find the area of the whole octagon shape:

A = 114 × 8 = 912 cm²

What are the zeros of the quadratic function f(x) equals 6X squared +12 X -7
tamaranim1 [39]

The zeroes of the function will be \rm -1 \pm \dfrac{\sqrt{78}}{6}}

<h3>What is a Quadratic Function ?</h3>

A quadratic function is given by ax² +bx+c = f(x)

The given quadratic function is

f(x) = 6x² +12x - 7

The zeroes of the function will be given by

f(0) = 0

6x² +12x - 7 = 0

The zeroes are given by

\rm \dfrac {-b  \pm \sqrt{b^2 -4ac}}{2a}

here

a = 6

b = 12

c = -7

Therefore the zeroes of the function will be

\rm \dfrac {-12  \pm \sqrt{12^2 -4*6*(-7)}}{2 *6}

\rm \dfrac {-12  \pm \sqrt{312}}{12}

\rm -1 \pm \dfrac{\sqrt{78}}{6}}

Therefore these are the two zeroes of the function.

The number of counties in state a and the number of counties in state b are consecutive even integers whose sum is 9090. if stat
Oliga [24]
Let x = state b , then x + 2 = state a

now: x + (x +2) = 9090 or 2x + 2 = 9090 Solving this equation:
2x + 2 = 9090 subtract 2 from both sides
2x = 9088 divide both sides by 2
x = 4544
that means x + 2 = 4546

so state a = 4546 and state b = 4544
