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

The pinata weighs 11/4 pounds without candy.He adds 8bags that weighs 3/8,3/8,1/2,1/2,1/2,3/4,3,11/4 how much will the pinata we
Natalka [10]

Answer:

Weight = \frac{23}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Weight of Pinata = 11/4 lb

Weight of candies = 3/8, 3/8, 1/2 , 1/2, 1/2, 3/4, 3, 11/4

Required

Weight of Pinata when filled with candies

To solve this question, we simply need to add all weights together

First, we need to add up the weight of the candies

Candies =  \frac{3}{8} + \frac{3}{8} + \frac{1}{2}+ \frac{1}{2}+ \frac{1}{2}+ \frac{3}{4} + 3 + \frac{11}{4}

Take LCM

Candies = \frac{3 + 3 + 4 +4 + 4 + 6 + 24 + 22}{8}

Candies = \frac{70}{8}

Simplify:

Candies = \frac{35}{4}

Next; Add the weight of the candies to the weight of pinata

Weight = Candies + Pinata

Weight = \frac{35}{4} + \frac{11}{4}

Take LCM

Weight = \frac{35 + 11}{4}

Weight = \frac{46}{4}

Simplify

Weight = \frac{23}{2}

<em>Hence, the weight of the Pinata after it is filled with candies is 23/2 lb</em>

Each day 1/2 of the money that is in bank value is removed. No money is added to the value. Which of the following represent the
Alchen [17]

Answer:

Option C. exponential decay function

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we have a exponential function of the form

y=a(b^x)

where

y ---> is the money that is in the bank

x ----> number of days

a ---> is the initial value or y-intercept

b is the base of the exponential function

r ---> is the rate of change

b=(1+r)

In this problem we have that

Each day 1/2 of the money that is in bank value is removed

so

r=-50\%=-50/100=-0.50 ---> is negative because is a decreasing function

The value of b is equal to

b=1-r=1-0.50=0.50

y=a(0.50^x)

The value of b is less than 1

b<1

That means -----> Is a exponential  decay function

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

The test statistics is   z = -1  

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The sample size is  n  =  100

  The null hypothesis  is  H_o : \mu = \$30000

   The alternative hypothesis is  H_a  :  \mu  < \$ 30000

   The sample mean is  \= x  = \$29,750

    The standard deviation is  \sigma  = \$2,500

    The level of significance is  \alpha =0.05

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

        z = \frac{\= x - \mu }{ \frac{ \sigma}{ \sqrt{n} } }

=>      z = \frac{29750 - 30000 }{ \frac{ 2500}{ \sqrt{100} } }

=>      z = -1
