The name of the polygon is (B) hexagon.

<h3>What is a hexagon?</h3>
  • A hexagon is a six-sided polygon or 6-gon in geometry.
  • The sum of any simple (non-self-intersecting) hexagon's internal angles is 720°.

To find the name of the polygon:

  • Let the number of sides in a polygon be n.
  • Triangles are formed by drawing diagonals from one vertex to each of the others.
  • Because there is no overlapping of the triangles, no diagonal will be drawn back to itself, and the diagonals to each adjacent vertex will lie on top of the adjacent sides, so the number of diagonals from a single vertex is three less than the number of sides or n - 3, and the number of triangles is one more, or n - 2.

  • Number of triangles = number of sides in polygon - 2
  • Number of triangles = n - 2
  • n = 4 + 2
  • n = 6
  • The polygon containing 6 sides is called a hexagon.

Therefore, the name of the polygon is (B) hexagon.

What is the height of this isosceles triangle?
erastova [34]

Answer:

height ≈ 11.9 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Construct a perpendicular bisector from the vertex to the base, thus splitting the triangle into 2 right triangles.

Using the sine ratio in one of these right triangles, then

sin48° = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} ( the opposite is the height h )

sin48° = \frac{h}{16} ( multiply both sides by 16 )

16 × sin48° = h , thus

h ≈ 11.9 ( to the nearest tenth )

A glass contains alcohol and water in the ratio 1:4. A second glass contains the same quantity of liquid, but this time the rati
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

3:7

Step-by-step explanation:

So to solve this problem, you have to understand what the ratio 1:4 and 2:3 means. The 1:4 ratio in the first equation means that for "each unit of alcohol" there is 4 of those units of water. So let's say I had 2 gallons of alcohol and mixed it with 8 gallons of water. This means for each gallon of alcohol, there is 4 gallons of water, or in other words a 1:4 ratio. This can be described as a percentage as well. For each 5 gallons there are 4 gallons of water, and 1 gallon of alcohol or <em>20%</em> is alcohol. So let's just say that x=alcohol and y=water, this means that: x+y=c  where c is the total amount in the glass. This means that: x=0.20c

Let's do the same thing to the second equation. the ratio means that for every 2 units of alcohol there are 3 units of water. This means for every 5 gallons of the mixture there is 2 units of alcohol which is 40%. In this case let's also say that j=alcohol and k=water. This means that: j+k=c and that: j=0.40c.

So if we're going to add the two glasses, we simply add the two sides, and get: j+x+k+y=2c. Now remember how can can express j and x in terms of c, since it's a certain percentage of c (the entire thing). This means that we get: (0.4c+0.2c)+x+k=2c Now we can add like terms to get the equation: 0.6c+y+k=2c. We can find how much 0.6c is to 2c by dividing the 2, in doing so we get that 0.6c/2c = 0.3, or in other words the 0.6c is only 30% of the final mixture, and since the 0.6c represents the alcohol in this mixture, that means that's the percentage of alcohol. To write this as a ratio, this means for every 3 units of alcohol, there is 7 units of water, because 3/10 = 30%.
