A regular polygon inscribed in a circle can be used to derive the formula for the area of a circle. The polygon area can be expr

essed in terms of the area of a triangle.
Let s be the side length of the polygon,


let r be the hypotenuse of the right triangle,


let h be the height of the triangle, and


let n be the number of sides of the regular polygon.




polygon area = n(12sh)





Which statement is true?



As r increases, the area of the regular polygon approaches the area of the circle.


As n increases, the area of the regular polygon approaches the area of the circle.


As s increases, the area of the regular polygon approaches the area of the circle.


As h increases, the area of the regular polygon approaches the area of the circle.

Answer:

As n increases, the area of the regular polygon approaches the area of the circle.

Step-by-step explanation:

A regular polygon inscribed in a circle can be used to derive the formula for the area of a circle.

The polygon area can be expressed in terms of the area of a triangle.

Let s denote the side length of triangle.

r hypotenuse of right triangle.

h height of the triangle.

let n be the number of sides of the regular polygon.

The area of polygon is given by:

polygon area = n(12sh)

The correct statement is:

As n increases, the area of the regular polygon approaches the area of the circle.

" Since, as the number of sides of the polygon increases the polygon start approaching to the circumference of circle and as n tends to infinity the polygon will tend to take the shape of the circle "

How far from an airport can an airplane fly and return in 8 hours, if it's outgoing speed is 160 km per hour and it's returning
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
<span>speed = distance/time
total time is 8 hours

outgoing speed is 160 km per hour, 
so time = d/160

</span><span>returning speed is 240 km per hour,
so time = d/240

 d/160 + d/240 = 8

3d/480 + 2d/480 = 8
5d/480 = 8
5d =480 (8)
5d = 3840
d=3840/5
d=768

answer: so the distance is 768 km</span>

If the sphere shown above has a radius of 14 units then what is the approximate volume of the sphere
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

About 11494.04

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no sphere shown above but I can still get you the answer:

The formula for the volume of a sphere is \frac{4}{3} *π*r³

Putting in the radius, we get:

\frac{4}{3}*π*14³=

\frac{4}{3}*π*2744=

\frac{10976}{3}*π=

3658.66*π≈11494.04
