Answer:

The regular decagon has 10 axes of symmetry.

Step-by-step explanation:

A regular decagon is made up of ten sides and ten vertices. Each vertex is located exactly in front of another vertex (opposite). Then, by drawing axes that join two opposite vertices, five axes of symmetry can be constructed.

Each side is located exactly opposite the other side of the decagon (opposite). Then, joining the midpoints of each side, with their respective opposite, five axes of symmetry are constructed for the decagon.

Conclusion: the regular decagon has 10 axes of symmetry.

The number of sides is the same as the number of lines of symmetry and the order of rotational symmetry.

So, a regular decagon would have 10 lines of symmetry.

A bakery has 2,160 loaves of whole-wheat bread in July. In all, the bakery SOLD 9000 loaves THIS MONTH. What percent of the loav

Bumek [7]

24% because you would make a ratio like x/100= 2,160/9000. So basically the x is the percentage you need, 100 is just an easy factorable percent, and 2,160 is the wheat bread and 9000 is all the bread. Basically what you do with this ratio is you cross multiply. This means you multiply 2,160 by 100 and divide by 9000 and that’s your percent

A rope of length 18 feet is arranged in the shape of a sector of a circle with central angle O radians, as shown in the

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

$A(\theta)=\frac{162 \theta}{(\theta+2)^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture of the question in the attached figure

step 1

Let

r ---> the radius of the sector

s ---> the arc length of sector

Find the radius r

we know that

$2r+s=18$

$s=r \theta$

$2r+r \theta=18$

solve for r

$r=\frac{18}{2+\theta}$

step 2

Find the value of s

$s=r \theta$

substitute the value of r

$s=\frac{18}{2+\theta}\theta$

step 3

we know that

The area of complete circle is equal to

$A=\pi r^{2}$

The complete circle subtends a central angle of 2π radians

using proportion find the area of the sector by a central angle of angle theta

Let

A ---> the area of sector with central angle theta

$\frac{\pi r^{2} }{2\pi}=\frac{A}{\theta} \\\\A=\frac{r^2\theta}{2}$

substitute the value of r

$A=\frac{(\frac{18}{2+\theta})^2\theta}{2}$

$A=\frac{162 \theta}{(\theta+2)^2}$

Convert to function notation

$A(\theta)=\frac{162 \theta}{(\theta+2)^2}$

Consider rolling two fair dice one 3-sided the other 5-sided

Ne4ueva [31]

Since the dice are fair and the rolling are independent, each single outcome has probability 1/15. Every time we choose

$1\leq x\leq 3,\quad 1\leq y \leq 5$

We have $P(X=x)=\frac{1}{3}$ and $P(Y=y)=\frac{1}{5}$ , because the dice are fair.

Now we use the assumption of independence to claim that

$P(X=x, Y=y) = P(X=x)\cdot P(Y=y) =\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot\dfrac{1}{5} = \dfrac{1}{15}$

Now, we simply have to count in how many ways we can obtain every possible outcome for the sum. Consider the attached table: we can see that we can obtain:

2 in a unique way (1+1)
3 in two possible ways (1+2, 2+1)
4 in three possible ways
5 in three possible ways
6 in three possible ways
7 in two possible ways
8 in a unique way

This implies that the probabilities of the outcomes of $W=X+Y$ are the number of possible ways divided by 15: we can obtain 2 and 8 with probability 1/15, 3 and 7 with probability 2/15, and 4, 5 and 6 with probabilities 3/15=1/5

The table lists the results from a survey (of questionable accuracy) of adults and how much they spend on a night out.

daser333 [38]

You are going to make a graph. The x-axis will represent age while the y-axis represents the amount of money spent on a night out. Graph the ordered pairs, making a scatter plot. Once you have all of the points on the graph, answer the question by saying something like "the older someone is, the less money they spend on a night out" but make sure it's accurate. (:
