If 3/5 are action and 1/4 are comedy then:

(3/5)+(1/4) are action or comedy

To add/subtract fractions you need a common denominator...

(3/5)*(4/4)+(1/4)(5/5)

(12/20)+(5/20)

17/20

So 17/20 (85%) of his collection are action or comedy not 4/9...

The diagram below shows a square inside a regular octagon. The apothem of the octagon is 15.69 units. To the nearest square unit
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

C.  647 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the shaded area, subtract the area of the unshaded square from the area of the octagon.

<u>Area of the octagon</u>

\textsf{Area of a regular polygon}=\dfrac{n\:l\:a}{2}

where:

  • n = number of sides
  • l = length of one side
  • a = apothem

Given:

  • n = 8
  • l = 13
  • a = 15.69

Substitute the given values into the formula and solve for A:

\implies \textsf{Area}=\sf \dfrac{8 \cdot 13 \cdot 15.69}{2}

\implies \textsf{Area}=\sf \dfrac{1631.76}{2}

\implies \textsf{Area}=\sf 815.88\:\:square \:units

<u>Area of the square</u>

\implies \textsf{Area}=\sf 13^2=169 \:\:square \:units

<u>Area of the shaded region</u>

= area of the octagon - area of the square

= 815.88 - 169

= 646.88

= 647 square units (nearest square unit)
