The rule for regular polygons are very easy. The number of reflectional symmetries is same as the number of sides. Regular polygons have all sides the same length and all angles same. Reflection symmetry means that you can fold the shape along that line and it will match up.

For this question, we want the number of reflectional symmetries of a regular decagon. Decagon is a 10 sided figure. Hence, the number of reflectional symmetries is 10.

There are 5 symmetry lines from one vertex to opposite vertex and 5 more symmetry lines form midpoint of one side to midpoint of opposite side.

If the area of a circle measures 4π cm2, what is the circumference of the circle in terms of π? A) 4π cm B) 8π cm C) 12π cm D) 1

Nesterboy [21]

$\bf \textit{area of a circle}\\\\
A=\pi r^2~~
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
-----\\
A=4\pi 
\end{cases}\implies 4\pi =\pi r^2\implies \cfrac{4\pi }{\pi }=r^2
\\\\\\
4=r^2\implies \sqrt{4}=r\implies \boxed{2=r}
\\\\\\
\textit{circumference of a circle}\\\\
C=2\pi r\qquad \qquad \implies C=2\pi\left( \boxed{2} \right)\implies C=4\pi$

If B is the midpoint of AC, and AC=8x-20. Find BC<br> AB=3x-1<br> Show all work

exis [7]

First we know that:
AB+BC=AC
now , since B is the midpoint of AC, this means that AB=BC
therefore,
AB+BC=AC can also be written as
AB+AB=AC
3x-1+3x-1=8x-20
6x-2=8x-20
-2+20=8x-6x
18=2x
x=9

therefore:
AB=3(9)-1=27-1=26
AC=8(9)-20=52
BC=AB=26
