Find the area of a regular decagon with perimeter 100 units. Show all work.

1 answer:

4 0

A regular polygon has ten (10) equal sides ( since it is regular).
We are given with the perimeter value which is 100 units and the perimeter formula is P = 10a
Solving for a (the side measurement), we have:
100 = 10a
a= 100/10
a =10

We can now proceed in solving the area and the formula is shown below:
Area = 5/2 a√ (5+2√5)
Area = 5/2 * 10√(5+2√5)
Area = 76.94 square units

The answer is 96.94 square units.

Can you solve 4 + 2/3 x = -5 in fraction form?

guapka [62]

Answer:

$\frac{-27}{2} = (-13)(\frac{1}{2})$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is 4 + 2/3 x = -5

Taking variable on one side and constants on other side, we get

$-9 = (\frac{2}{3})(x)$

$x = (\frac{3}{2})(-9) = \frac{-27}{2} = (-13)(\frac{1}{2}) = -13.5$

The number in decimal form is given by -13.5

The number in fraction form is given as $\frac{-27}{2} = (-13)(\frac{1}{2})$
