We know that the diameter of the inner circle (d) and the side of a regular octagon (s) are tied by the formula:
d = (1 +√2) × s
The inverse formula is:
s = d / <span>(1 +√2)
Plugging in numbers:
s = 7 (1 + </span>√2)
= 2.9 ft
Therefore the correct answer is A) <span>2.9 feet</span>
Answer:
The measure of the shortest side is 851 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the measure of the shortest side
y ---> the measure of the middle side
z ---> the measure of the longest side
we know that
The perimeter of triangle is equal to


so
----> equation A
the shortest side measures 71 mi less than the middle side
so
----> equation B
the longest side measures 372 mi more the the middle side
so
----> equation C
substitute equation B and equation C in equation A

solve for y

Find the value of x

therefore
The measure of the shortest side is 851 miles
The values are x=8 and y=35, if the given ΔABC and ΔDEC are equal, it is obtained by Pythagoras theorem.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given are,
From ΔABC,
AB= 6
BC= 10
AC = x
From ΔDEC,
CD= 28
DE= 21
CE = y
Step:1
Pythagoras theorem from ΔABC,
...............(1)
Substitute the values,
=
+ 
100 = 36 + 
= 100 - 36
= 64
AC = 
AC = 8
AC = x = 8
Step:2
Pythagoras theorem for ΔDEC,
................(2)
From the values,
=
+ 
= 784 + 441
= 1225
CE = 
CE = 35
CE = y = 35
Result:
The values are x=8 and y=35, if the given ΔABC and ΔDEC are equal.
You would do 11 times 8 because you need all the legs of the spiders.
So, there would be 88 spider legs. 88 would be your answer.
