we are given

exterior angle is 18

so,

$\theta=18$

now, we can use formula

number of sides of regular polygon = 360/(exterior angle)

so, we get

$n=\frac{360}{18}$

$n=20$

so, number sides is 20..........Answer

What is the length of segment AE?

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

$AE=\frac{50}{3}\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

In the right triangle ABC

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem fin the hypotenuse AC

$AC^{2} =AB^{2}+BC^{2}$

substitute

$AC^{2} =6^{2}+8^{2}$

$AC^{2} =100$

$AC =10\ units$

step 2

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal

$\frac{AB}{CD}=\frac{AC}{CE}$

substitute and solve for CE

$\frac{6}{4}=\frac{10}{CE}\\ \\CE=4*10/6\\ \\CE=\frac{20}{3}\ units$

step 3

Find the length of segment AE

AE=AC+CE

substitute the values

$AE=10\ units+\frac{20}{3}\ units=\frac{50}{3}\ units$

At 8:00 am, here's what we know about two airplanes: Airplane #1 has an elevation of 80870 ft and is decreasing at the rate of 4

wel

Let's begin by listing out the information given to us:

8 am

airplane #1: x = 80870 ft, v = -450 ft/ min

airplane #2: x = 5000 ft, v = 900ft/min

We must note that the airplanes are moving at a constant speed. The equation for the airplanes is given by:

$\begin{gathered} E=x_1+vt----1 \\ E=x_2+vt----2 \\ where\colon E=elevation,ft;x=InitialElevation,ft; \\ v=velocity,ft\text{/}min;t=time,min \\ x_1=80,870ft,v=-450ft\text{/}min \\ E=80870-450t----1 \\ x_2=5,000ft,v=900ft\text{/}min \\ E=5000+900t----2 \end{gathered}$

We equate equations 1 & 2 to get the time both airlanes will be at the same elevation. We have:

$\begin{gathered} 5000+900t=80870-450t \\ \text{Add 450t to both sides, we have:} \\ 900t+450t+5000=80870-450t+450t \\ 1350t+5000=80870 \\ \text{Subtract 5000 from both sides, we have:} \\ 1350t+5000-5000=80870-5000 \\ 1350t=75870 \\ \text{Divide both sides by 1350, we have:} \\ \frac{1350t}{1350}=\frac{75870}{1350} \\ t=56.2min \\ \\ \text{After }56.2\text{ minutes, both airplanes will be at the same elevation} \end{gathered}$

The elevation at that time (when the elevations of the two airplanes are the same) is given by substituting the value of time into equations 1 & 2. We have:

$\begin{gathered} E_1=80870-450t \\ E_1=80870-450(56.2) \\ E_1=80870-25290 \\ E_1=55580ft \\ \\ E_2=5000+900t \\ E_2=5000+900(56.2) \\ E_2=5000+50580 \\ E_2=55580ft \\ \\ \therefore E_1\equiv E_2=55580ft \end{gathered}$

what is the dividend yield on Stock A that sells 15$/share, when company A pays a quarterly dividend of $0.15 per share

geniusboy [140]

Answer: The dividend yield on Stock A = 0.04

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: quarterly dividend = $0.15 per share

Annual dividend per share = 4 x 0.15 = $0.6 [1 year = 4 quarters]

Stock's price per share = $0.15

The computation of dividend is given by :-

Dividend yield = (annual dividend per share) divided by (the stock's price per share).

Here, Dividend yield = (0.6) ÷ 15 = 0.04

Hence, the dividend yield on Stock A = 0.04
