The apothem of a polygon is a line made from the center to the midpoint of any side of the polygon. The radius, on the other hand, is the line from the center to any corner of the polygon. If you illustrate the problem, you can form a right triangle where the hypotenuse is the radius, and the other two legs are the apothem and half of one side of the polygon. 

Perimeter of octagon = 8*length of each side = 64
length of each side = 8 ft

Therefore,
Apothem = √(10.5^2 - (8/2)^2) = 9.71 ft

Area of regular octagon is 310.4 square ft

Solve |3k-2|=2|k+12|
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

k = 26   or   k = -\dfrac{22}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

|3k - 2| = 2|k + 12|

\dfrac{|3k - 2|}{|k + 12|} = 2

|\dfrac{3k - 2}{k + 12}| = 2

3k - 2 = 2(k + 12)   or   3k - 2 = -2(k + 12)

3k - 2 = 2k + 24   or   3k - 2 = -2k - 24

k = 26   or   5k = -22

k = 26   or   k = -\dfrac{22}{5}

A radio station requires DJs to play 2 commercials for every 10 songs they play.What is the unit rate of songs to commercial?
slavikrds [6]
The correct answer for this question is that the unit rate is 5:1. We can work this out by simplifying down the 2 commercials to every 10 songs ration, so that 10:2 becomes 5:1. We can work this out by halving the original ratio to simplify it.
