How do I find the apothem of a decagon with the radius of 14???

Mathematics

Answer:

A.  13.31'  to the nearest hundredth.

B.  86.52' to the nearest hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A>

The apotherm of a regular polygon is the distance of the line segment from the centre of the polygon to the midpoint of a side.

2 radii of this decagon joined to the endpoints of a side form an isosceles triangle with equal sides = 14 cm.

The apotherm is the altitude of this triangle.  The  vertex of the triangle  has an angle of 360 / 10 = 36 degrees and the apotherm bisects this angle.

So using trigonometry on the right triangle formed:

cos 18 = x / 14   where x is the apotherm.

x = 14 cos 18

=  13.31'  (answer).

Part B.

Using trigonometry on the right triangle again:

sin 18 = x/2 / 14     (where x is the length of a side of the hexagon)

x/2 = 14 sin 18

x = 2 * 14 sin 18

= 8.652'.

As a decagon has 10 sides the perimeter = 8.652 * 10

= 86.52' to the nearest hundredth.

scores on the act college entrance exam follow a bell-shaped distribution with mean 18 and standard deviation 6. Wayne's standar
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

His actual score is 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating Wayne’s actual score on the ACT

when we say the scores have being standardized, it means the score was reported in terms of the z-score and not the initial raw scores.

Now, mathematically, for the scores to have a negative z-score, it means it is actually below the mean.

The formula for the z-score or standard score is given below;

z-score = (x - mean)/SD

where in this case, x = ? which is the score we are looking for , z-score = -0.5 , mean score = 18 and standard deviation of the scores = 6

So, substituting these values into the z-score equation, we have;

-0.5 = (x-18)/6

x-18 = 6(-0.5)

x -18 = -3

x = -3 + 18

x = 15

Assuming that the mix disolves into the 20 gallons and doesn't take up space

1:2
x:20
1/2=x/20
multiply btoh sides by 20

Solve(x+y)^2=(x^2-2xy+y^2) and show your work
Shtirlitz [24]

(x + y)^2 = (x^2 - 2xy + y^2)

First distribute the ^2 on the left side of the equation to each term inside the parenthesis:

x^2+ 2xy + y^2

Now pick one of the variables to solve for and isolate it:

(solving for x)

x^2 + 2xy + y^2 = x^2 - 2xy + y^2

x^2+ 2xy = x^2 - 2xy

2xy = -2xy

-x = x

x = 0

When you solve for y in the equation it will turn out to be 0 as well
