What best describes the area of a polygon

Mathematics
1 answer:
never [62]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The area of any regular polygon is given by the formula: Area = (a x p)/2, where a is the length of the apothem and p is the perimeter of the polygon. Plug the values of a and p in the formula and get the area. As an example, let's use a hexagon (6 sides) with a side (s) length of 10.

The area of a polygon is the two-dimensional set of all points surrounded by the sides of the polygon.

If you're looking for an equation, it varies based on the number of sides and the shape of the polygon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Apothem

A regular polygon is equilateral (it has equal sides) and equiangular (it has equal angles). To find the area of a regular polygon, you use an apothem — a segment that joins the polygon’s center to the midpoint of any side and that is perpendicular to that side (segment HM in the following figure is an apothem).

Solve each substitution ( I need help )
lozanna [386]
In each of the problems, one of the equations is solved for y. Just plug in what y is equal to into the other equation.

1.) Plug -3 in for y.
-3 = 7x - 10
7x = 7
x = 1

2.) Plug -8 in for y.
-8 = -2x - 12
-2x = 4
x = -2

9.) Plug -8x in for y.
2x + 4(-8x) = 0
2x - 32x = 0
-30x = 0
x = 0

10.) Plug 2x in for y.
6x + 7(2x) = 20
6x + 14x = 20
20x = 20
x = 1

5. If on a scale drawing 60 miles
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

6 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

60 miles : 5 inches

12 miles  : 1 inch

6 miles   : 1/2 inch

whatever you do to one side of the ratio you have to do to the other.

to get from 1 to a 1/2 you divide by 2, so you do 12 divided by 2 which is 6.
