Answer:

1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 can also be written as 4/8 (it's still a half, because 4 is still half of 8, it's just written differently)

4/8 - 3/8 = 1/8

Answer: 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

First, Turn the half into a eighth and to do so you would multiply 1/2 *4/4 and you should get 4/8.

Next, subtract 3 from 4 and you should get 1 as your answer.

Last, keep the denominator the same and you should get 1/8.

A garden has four sides that are all the same length. Each side measures x + 4 units. The garden's perimeter in 112. What is the
KIM [24]
The value of x = 24

Since there’s 4 even sides, add up the number you know. So, 4 • 4 = 16. Then subtract 16 from the perimeter of 112 to get 96. Lastly, divide that number by 4 to find what x equals. And, 96 / 4 = 24.

Hope this helps!

find the area of the regular decagon if the apothem is 5 inches and a side is 3.2 inches. Round to the nearest whole number
Lilit [14]

When you are given the side length and apothem of a regular polygon and asked for area, you are expected to use the formula

... A = (1/2)Pa

where P is the perimeter of the polygon, "a" is the apothem, and A is the area.

The only additional information you need is that a decagon has 10 sides, so its perimeter is 10×3.2 inches = 32 inches.

The area is ...

... A = (1/2)(32 in)(5 in)

... A = 80 in²

_____

Sometimes the dimensions of a problem like this don't quite add up. The geometry of a regular polygon means that the apothem can be found from the side length and vice versa. In this case, the side length of 3.2 inches means the apothem is about 4.92 inches; or the apothem of 5 inches means the side length is about 3.25 inches. Either way, the area is slightly different from that computed using the given numbers.

This is why I say you're expected to use the above formula. (You're not expected to think about it too much.)
