Let's say you have two similar polygons and the ratio of their perimeters is 6:1. What is the ratio of corresponding sides?

1 answer:

7 0

Well if we had a four sided polygon with the sides of x1, x2, x3, x4. Where the perimeter is: (x1 + x2 + x3 + x4), A similar polygon will have proportional sides. Their sides would be > kx1, kx2, kx3, kx4.....sooo... The perimeter is: (kx1 + kx2 + kx3 + kx4) > k(x1 + x2 + x3 + x4) therefore the ratio is the same because the perimeter and sides are the same. So 6:1

Hope this helps!

Using sin^2x+ cos^2 x=1 and other trig properties, simplify the following: (cos^2Ø*tan^2Ø)/(1-cos^2 Ø.

user100 [1]

$\dfrac{\cos^2\O\cdot\tan^2\O}{1-\cos^2\O}=\dfrac{\cos^2\O\cdot\tan^2\O}{\sin^2\O}=\dfrac{\cos^2\O}{\sin^2\O}\cdot\tan^2\O\\\\=\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{\sin^2\O}{\cos^2\O}}\cdot\tan^2\O=\dfrac{1}{\left(\dfrac{\sin\O}{\cos\O}\right)^2}\cdot\tan^2\O=\dfrac{1}{\tan^2\O}\cdot\tan^2\O\\\\=\dfrac{\tan^2\O}{\tan^2\O}=1$

$Used:\\\\\sin^2\O+\cos^2\O=1\to1-\cos^2\O=\sin^2\O\\\\\tan\O=\dfrac{\sin\O}{\cos\O}$

Find the rate of change

Tatiana [17]

$\bf slope = m = \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{ f(x_2) - f(x_1)}{ x_2 - x_1}\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
average~rate\\
of~change
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
h(x)= 2^x \qquad 
\stackrel{2\le x\le 4}{\begin{cases}
x_1=2\\
x_2=4
\end{cases}}\implies \cfrac{h(4)-h(2)}{4-2}\implies \cfrac{2^4-2^2}{2}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{16-4}{2}\implies \cfrac{12}{2}\implies 6$

When it is 11 a.m. in Johannesburg, it is 6 p.m. the same day in Tokyo, Japan. A flight leaves OR Tambo in Johannesburg at 6 a.m

kiruha [24]

Answer:

Dear User,

Answer to your query is provided below

The time will be 8am on Wednesday when flight arrive in Tokyo.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, You can see that when 11 a.m. in Johannesburg, it is 6 p.m. the same day in Tokyo, Japan ; this means 7Hrs. gap.

Further, A flight leaves Johannesburg at 6 a.m. on Tuesday for Tokyo takes 18 hours in the air, with an additional 1 hour stop-over on land.

So, 6a.m. + 18hr.+1hr.+7hr. = 8am on Wednesday in Tokyo (Arrival)
