32 × 2 = 68
32 × 3 = 96
32 × 4 = 128

So far we can conclude that the answer to your question lies somewhere between the numbers 3 and 4. To narrow down the answer some more, multiply 32 by 3.5 (a midway point between 3 and 4).

32 × 3.5 = 112
The number 112 tells us that the decimal we are looking for is higher than 3.5. (Because we need to get to 125, not 112.) Let's try some decimals between 3.5 and 4.

32 × 3.7 = 118.4
32 × 3.8 = 121.6
32 × 3.9 = 124.8
32 × 4 = 128

As we narrow down our answer, we can see that the number we are looking for lies between 3.9 and 4 on the number line. Now we need to start testing some decimals between 3.9 and 4. 

32 × 3.905 = 124.96
Again, use the number five as a "midway" point to decide if you should use numbers that are higher or lower than 3.905. In this case, we need to use numbers higher than 3.905.

32 × 3.906 = 124.992
32 × 3.907 = 125.024

We are getting even closer to our number now that we know the decimal is somewhere between 3.906 and 3.907.

32 × 3.9065 = 125.008
With our midway point we can see that our number lies between 3.906 and 3.9065. Let's try a quarter point to see where our number lies from there.

32 × 3.90625 = 125
And BINGO! We have found the answer to the question. To be rephrased, our answer can be put like this:

\frac{125}{32} = 3.90625

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is not nearly as threatening and scary as I first thought it was.  You must be in the section in Geometry where you are taught that perimeter of similar figures exist in a one-to-one relationship while areas of similar figures exist in a squared-to-squared relationship.  We will use that here.  

The area formula for a regular polygon is

A=\frac{1}{2}ap where a is the apothem and p is the perimeter.  We are first asked for the area of the polygon, but it would make more sense to find the perimeter first, since we need it to find the area.

P = 5(8) so

P = 40

We are given that the area of the triangle inside that polygon is 22.022 units squared.  Knowing that the area formula for a triangle is

A=\frac{1}{2}bh we can sub in what we know and solve to find the height:

22.022=\frac{1}{2}(8)h and

22.022 = 4h so

h = 5.5055 units

It just so happens that the height of that triangle is also the apothem of the polygon, so now we have what we need to find the area of the polygon:

A=\frac{1}{2}(5.5055)(40)

which gives us an area of

A = 110.11 units squared.

Here is where we can use what we know about similar figures and the relationships between perimeters and areas.  We will set up a proportion with the smaller polygon info on top and the larger info on bottom.  We know that the larger is 3 times the smaller, so the ratio of smaller to larger is

\frac{s}{l}:\frac{1}{3}

Since perimeter is one-to-one and we know the perimeter of the smaller, we can create a proportion to solve for the perimeter of the larger:

\frac{s}{l}:\frac{1}{3}=\frac{40}{x}

Cross multiply to get that the perimeter is 120 units.  You could also have done this by knowing that if the larger is 3 times the size of the smaller, then the side measure of the larger is 24, and 24 * 5 = 120.  But we used the way we used because now we have a means to find the area of the larger since we know the area of the smaller.

Area exists in a squared-to-squared relationship of the perimeter which is one-to-one.  If the perimeter ratio is 1:3, then the area relationship is

\frac{s}{l}:\frac{1^2}{3^2} which is, simplified:

\frac{s}{l}:\frac{1}{9}

Since we know the area for the smaller, we can sub it into a proportion and cross multiply to solve for the area of the larger.

\frac{s}{l} :\frac{1}{9} =\frac{110.11}{x}

A of the larger is 990.99 units squared

Use the drawing tool(s) to form the correct answer on the provided graph.
lorasvet [3.4K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Setting x=0, you can find the y-intercept:

  y = 4

Setting y = 0, you can find the x-intercept:

  2x = 4

  x = 2

The boundary line can be drawn through these intercept points, (0,4) and (2,0). Because the "equal to" case is not included, the boundary line will be dashed.

The y variable is on the open side of the comparison symbol (y>), so the shading is above the boundary line. That is where y-values are greater than those on the line.
