Polygon area = n*side length^2 / [4*tan(180/n)]
side length^2 = polygon area * [4*tan(180/n)] / n
where n is the number of sides
side length^2 = 55 sq inches * (4*tan(180/6)) / 6
side length^2 = 55 sq inches * 4 * tan (30) / 6
side length^2 = (55 sq inches * 4 * 0.57735) / 6
side length^2 = <span> <span> <span> 127.017 </span> </span> </span> / 6
side length^2 = <span> <span> <span> 21.1695 </span> </span> </span>
side length = square root ( <span> <span> <span> 21.1695 </span> </span> </span> )
side length = <span> <span> <span> 4.6010324928 </span> </span> </span>

If p is the incenter of triangle jkl, find each measure
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

PO = 7

PM = 7

MJ = 11

∠PJO = 32°

∠KJL = 64°

PL ≈ 18.385

OL = 17

∠PLO = 22°

∠NLO = 44°

∠JKL = 72°

∠MKP = 36°

∠NKP = 36°

∠PKN = 36°

KN = 10

PL ≈ 13.04

PK ≈ 12.21

JL = 28

JK = 21

LK = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The point representing the incenter of the triangle = P

Therefore PO = PM = PN = 7

tan(32°) = PM/JM = 7/JM

∴JM = 7/(tan(32°)) ≈ 11.2

∠PJO = tan⁻¹(7/11)≈ 32.47°

∠PJO = ∠PJM = 32° similar triangles

∠KJL = ∠KJP + ∠PJO = 32 + 32 = 64°

∠KJL ≈ 64°

PL = √(7² + 17²) ≈ 18.385

OL = NL = 17 similar triangles

∠PLO = sin⁻¹(7/18.385) ≈ 22.380°

∠PLO = ∠PLN = 22°

∠NLO = ∠PNL + ∠OLP ≈ 22° + 22° ≈ 44°

∠NLO ≈ 44.380°

∠JKL = 180 - (∠KJL + ∠NLO)

∠JKL = 180° - (64° + 44°) ≈ 72°

∠JKL  ≈ 72°

∠MKP = ∠NKP = 72°/2 = 36°

∠MKP = 36°

∠NKP = 36°

∠PKN = ∠JKL - ∠MKP = 72° - 36° ≈ 36°

∠PKN  ≈ 36°

KN = KM = 10

MJ = OJ = 11

PL = √(7² + 11²) ≈ 13.04

PK = √(7² + 10²) ≈ 12.21

JL = JO + OL = 11 + 17 = 28

JK = JM + MK = 11 + 10 = 21

LK = LN + NK = 17 + 10 = 27
