Mario is constructing a square dart board. It will consist of a smaller square centered in a larger square. The smaller square m

easures $4$ inches on each side. The ratio of the area of the smaller square to the area of the entire dart board is $\frac 49$. How long is the side of the larger square?

Answer:

6 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a represent side length of larger square.

We know that area of square is square of its side length, so area of the larger square will be a^2.

The area of smaller square would be 4^2.

We will use proportions to solve our given problem.

\frac{\text{Area of smaller square}}{\text{Area of larger square}}=\frac{4}{9}

\frac{4^2}{a^2}=\frac{4}{9}

\frac{16}{a^2}=\frac{4}{9}

Cross multiply:

4*a^2=16*9

\frac{4*a^2}{4}=\frac{16*9}{4}

a^2=36

Take square root:

a=\pm\sqrt{36}

a=\pm 6

Since the length cannot be negative, therefore, the side length of larger square is 6 inches.

5. Each polygon circumscribes a circle. Find the perimeter.
Oksana_A [137]

See the diagram of the circumscribed polygon attached below:

Answer:

A. 14.2 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 3.7 + 3.6 + 3.4 + 1.9 + g

Let's find g.

a = 1.9 in. (Tangents drawn from an external point of a circle are congruent)

b = 3.4 - 1.9 = 1.5 in.

b = c = 1.5 in. (Tangents drawn from an external point)

d = 3.6 - 1.5 = 2.1 in.

d = e = 2.1 in. (Tangents drawn from an external point)

f = 3.7 - 2.1 = 1.6 in.

f = g = 1.6 in. (Tangents drawn from an external point)

✔️Therefore,

Perimeter = 3.7 + 3.6 + 3.4 + 1.9 + 1.6 = 14.2 in.
