Answer: 24% of all employees attend night school.

Step-by-step explanation: If 40% of all employees are men and 30% of the men attend night school, we can multiply 0.40 by 0.30 to get the percentage of men who attend night school: 12% or 0.12. To find the number of women who attend night school, multiply 0.20 by 0.60(assuming percentage of men and women add up to 100%) to get 12%. Add 12% and 12% to get 24% of all employees attend night school.

Help? im confused plss! Find the area of the regular polygon with the given radius or apothem

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

50 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the regular polygon is a square, there are multiple ways you can jump directly to the answer. Perhaps the simplest is to use the formula for the area of a rhombus:

A = 1/2(d1)(d2)

where d1 and d2 are the lengths of the diagonals. Here, we see that half the diagonal is 5 cm, so the area is ...

A = (1/2)(10 cm)(10 cm) = 50 cm² . . . . area of the polygon

Alternate solution

If you want to use the radius and the number of sides in a formula, you can consider the area of each triangle formed by radii and a side. That triangle has area ...

A = 1/2r²sin(α)

where r is the radius and α is the central angle. For an n-sided polygon, the area is the sum of n of these triangles, and the central angle is 360°/n. Then the polygon area is ...

A = n/2·r²·sin(360°/n)

For n = 4 and r = 5 cm, the area is ...

A = (4/2)(5 cm)²(sin(360°/4)) = 2(5 cm)²(1) = 50 cm² . . . . area of square

_____

Additional comment

The formula is somewhat different if you start with the length of the apothem. One way to find the area is using the above formula and the relation between the radius and apothem:

r = a·sec(180°/n)

Another formula uses the apothem directly:

A = n·a²·tan(180°/n)
