4/1 / 5/2 = 4/1 * 2/5 = 8/5

1 7/8 = 15/8

15/8 * 8/5 = 120/40 = 12/4 = 3 inches

 shorter side should be 3 inches

A rectangular pool has a width of 24 feet. A second rectangular pool has a perimeter of 48 feet, which
Alina [70]

Answer:

Let x = the length

Let P = the perimeter of the first pool

48 = (1/3)P

144 feet = P

P = 2l + 2w

144 = 2x + 2(24)

144 = 2x + 48

96 = 2x

48 feet = x

I don’t know how to use the triangle area to calculate the area of the inscribed polygons
Trava [24]

First of all, let's recall the area of a triangle, knowing its base (b) and height (h):

A = \cfrac{bh}{2}

The exercise is showing you that, if you inscribe a polynomial with more and more side, the area of the polynomial will approximate the area of the circle better and better (you can see youself that the polygon is "filling" the circle more and more as the number of sides increase).

Now, the second column tells you the area of each of the triangles the polygon is split into. So, we can see that the first polygon is split into 3 triangles, each of them having base 1.73 and height 0.5.

So, the area of each triangle is

A = \cfrac{1.73 \cdot 0.5}{2} = 0.4325

There are three of these triangles, so the area of the whole polygon is

A = 0.4325 \cdot 3 = 1.2975

In the second case, you have six triangles, each with base 1 and height 0.87. So, the whole area is

A = 6 \cdot \cfrac{1\cdot 0.87}{2} = 0.87 \cdot 3 = 2.61

Finally, in the last case you have 8 triangles, each with base 0.77 and height 0.92. So, the whole area is

A = 8 \cdot \cfrac{0.77\cdot 0.92}{2} = 0.77\cdot 0.92 \cdot 4 = 2.8336

Consider triangle WXY... which statement about the angles is true?
Brrunno [24]

Answer:  The correct option is (A) Angle W is greater than angle Y.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the measures of the three sides of a triangle XYZ are as follows:

XY = 10 units,

WY = 14 units,

WX = 5 units.

We are to select the correct statements regarding the angles of ΔXYZ.

Writing the lengths of the sides in ascending order, we have

5

Since the angle opposite to a smaller side of a triangle is smaller, so from inequality (i), we get

WX

Option (A) is "Angle W is greater than angle Y".

This option is correct, because we have  ∠W > ∠Y.

Option (B) is "Angle Y is the largest angle".

This is incorrect because ∠X is the largest angle.

Option (C) is "Angle X is smaller than angle W"

This is incorrect because ∠X is the largest.

Option (D) is  "Angle W is the smallest angle".

This is incorrect because ∠Y is the smallest.

Thus, (A) is the correct option.
