Answer:

1.75 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the apothem we are going to use two formulas: the formula of area (because the only data given is the area) and the formula to find the apothem.

Formula of area = 4*L*ap where L is the length of one side of the octagon and ap is the length of the apothem.

Formula of apothem = \frac{L}{2tan(\frac{\alpha}{2})}, where L is the

length of one side of the octagon and \alpha is the central angle (I show you where is that angle in the picture below). You can find the principal angle dividing the meausre of the full turn by the amount of sides:

\alpha = \frac{360}{8} = 45. Then, we have that

\textbf{ap} = \frac{L}{2tan(\frac{45}{2})} = \frac{L}{2tan(22.5)} =\frac{L}{0.83}.

So, we have now the to formulas:

A = 4*L*ap, that is 10.15cm^2 = 4*L*ap and

ap = \frac{L}{0.83}. Let's replace the second formula in the first formula to have only one unknown value:

10.15cm^2 = 4*L*\frac{L}{0.83}

10.15cm^2 = \frac{4L^2}{0.83}

10.15cm^2 = 4.8193L^2

\frac{10.15}{4.8193} = L^2

2.1061= L^2

L = \sqrt{2.1061} = 1.45 cm.

Finally, let's find the apothem replacing L in the apothem formula:

ap = \frac{L}{0.83}

ap = \frac{1.45}{0.83}

ap = 1.75cm.

In ΔBCD, \overline{BD}
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

30degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Exterior angle m<CDE = 7x - 19 degrees

interior angles are

m<BCD = 2x - 1

m<DBC = x+10

Since the sum of the interior angles is equal to the exterior, hence;

2x - 1 + x+10 = 7x - 19

3x + 9 = 7x - 19

3x - 7x = -19 - 9

-4x = -28

x = 28/4

x = 7

Get m<CDE

m<CDE = 7x - 19

m<CDE = 7(7) - 19

m<CDE = 49 - 19

m<CDE = 30degrees

a cookie recipe calls 3 1/4 cups of flour. the recipe makes 3 dozen cookies. how much flour us needed to make 144 cookies
Mnenie [13.5K]

1 dozen = 12

144 / 12 = 12 dozen

12 dozen/ 3 = 4

They need 4 times the amount of flour:

3 1/4 x 4 = 13

They need 13 cups of flour
