The floor of a gazebo is in the shape of a regular octagon. The perimeter of the floor is 72 feet. The distance from the center

of the octagon to one of the vertices is 11.8 feet. What is the approximate length of the apothem? feet What is the approximate area of the floor of the gazebo? square feet

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

Answer:

m∠y=72°

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The question is</em></u>

Find the measure of angle y

step 1

Find the measure of angle x

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

m∠x=67° -----> by corresponding angles

step 2

Find the measure of angle y

we know that

(m∠x+m∠y)+42°=180° -----> because form a straight line

substitute the measure of angle x

67°+m∠y+42°=180

m∠y+108°=180

m∠y=180°-108°

m∠y=72°

The slope intercept form of the equation of a line that passes through (-2,13) is y =5x-3what is the point slope form of the equ
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

y - 13 = 5(x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Given y = 5x - 3 in  slope- intercept form

with slope m = 5, then

m = 5 and (a, b) = (- 2, 13)

y - 13 = 5(x - (- 2)), that is

y - 13 = 5(x + 2) ← in point- slope form

Ksju [112]
Let
x-----------> first <span>odd integer
x+2--------> second consecutive odd integer
x+4-------> third consecutive odd integer

we know that
(x+4)</span>²=15+x²+(x+2)²-------> x²+8x+16=15+x²+x²+4x+4
x²+8x+16=19+2x²+4x-------> x²-4x+3
x²-4x+3=0

using a graph tool----------> to calculate the quadratic equation
see the attached figure
the solution is
x=1
x=3

the answer is
the first odd integer x is 1
the  second consecutive odd integer x+2 is 3
the third consecutive odd integer x+4 is 5
