The area of standard stop sign regular octagon is 742.3 squared inches, if the standard stop sign has a 16.2 inch radius.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is,

               Radius of standard stop sign is 16.2 inch radius

Step:1

              The regular octagon is equal to the 16 right angled triangle,

                    Angle of right angle triangle  = \frac{360}{16} = 22.5°

              Ref attachment,

              From the OAB right angle triangle,  

              Trigonometric ratio,

                                 sin ∅ = \frac{Opp}{Hyp}        

              Where, ∅ = 22.5°

                           Hyp = Radius = 16.2 inches

              Ratio becomes,

                           sin 22.5°= \frac{b}{16.2}

                                       b = (0.374607)(16.2)

                                       b = 6.19947 inches

             Trigonometric ratio,

                                 cos ∅ = \frac{Adj}{Hyp}        

              Where, ∅ = 22.5°

                           Hyp = Radius = 16.2 inches

                            Adj = h

              Ratio becomes,

                           cos 22.5°= \frac{h}{16.2}

                                       h = (0.9238795)(16.2)

                                       h = 14.967 inches

Step:2

           From the triangle OAC,

                             Area, A = \frac{1}{2} (Height )( Base)

          Where, Height = 14.967 inches

                       Base = b + x = 6.19947 + 6.19947

                                             = 12.3989 inches

           From the values equation becomes,

                                       A = \frac{1}{2} (14.967)(12.39894)

                                       A = 92.7875 Squared inches

Step:3

           The octagon is equal to sum of 8 triangles

            Area of octagon = 8 × Area of triangle

                                        = 8 × 92.7875

                                        = 742.3 squared inches

Result:

        The area of standard stop sign regular octagon is 742.3 squared inches, if the standard stop sign has a 16.2 inch radius.

8 \frac{2}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the LCD of the two fractions, which is six

3\frac{1}{2} = 3 \frac{3}{6}

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5\frac{1}{6} + 3 \frac{3}{6} = 8\frac{4}{6}

The next step is to reduce:

8\frac{4}{6} = 8\frac{2}{3}

Answer:

  (c)  Not parallel: corresponding angles are not congruent

Step-by-step explanation:

The two angles shows are both "east" of the respective points of intersection, so are "corresponding" angles. If (and only if) lines r and s are parallel, corresponding angles are congruent. These angles have different measures, so lines r and s are not parallel.
