The length of one side of the octagon is given by:
 L = 72/8

L = 9
 Then, the apothem can be determined using the Pythagorean theorem in the following way:
 11.8 ^ 2 = (9/2) ^ 2 + a ^ 2

 Clearing to have:
 a ^ 2 = 11.8 ^ 2 - (9/2) ^ 2
 a = \sqrt{11.8 ^ 2 - (9/2) ^ 2}
 a = 10.91
 Then, the area is given by:
 A = (8) * (1/2) * (L) * (a)

 Where,
 L: length of the octagon sides
 a: apotema
 Substituting values:
 A = (8) * (1/2) * (9) * (10.91)

A = 392.76 feet ^ 2
 Answer:
 
the approximate length of the apothem is:
 
a = 10.91 feet
 
The approximate area of the floor of the gazebo is:
 
A = 392.76 feet ^ 2

Is x a solution to 80<-9x+8
saveliy_v [14]

Answers: x

1. Switch sides

-9x+8>80

2. Subtract by 8 from both sides of equation.

-9x+8-8>80-8

3. Simplify.

-9x>72

4. Multiply by -1 from both sides of equation. (it's should be the reverse inequality).

(-9x)(-1)

5. Simplify.

9x

6. Then you had to divide by 9 from both sides of equation.

\frac{9x}{9}< \frac{-72}{9}

7. Simplify.

\frac{9x}{9}=x

8. Divide by the numbers.

\frac{9}{9}=1

=x

\frac{-72}{9}=-8

9. Divide by the numbers.

\frac{72}{9}=8

=-8

x

Three friends share a pizza.one eighth falls on the fall and is thrown away.the remainder is shared equally..what fraction of th
maria [59]
If one eighth of the pizza falls, that leaves seven eights of the pizza to be shared:

1\ (whole\ pizza) -\frac{1}{8}=\frac{7}{8}

If the 7/8 pizza is shared between three people, then you have to divide 7/8 by 3. We know that dividing a fraction by 3 is the same as multiplying by 1/3:

\frac{7}{8} \div 3\\\\\frac{7}{8}*\frac{1}{3}\\\\\frac{7*1}{8*3}\\\\frac{7}{24}

Therefore, each person gets 7/24 of the whole pizza.
