The area of a polygon is given by the formula Area = ap/2 where a is the length of the apothem and p is the perimeter. The apothem is a line from the center of the polygon perpendicular to a side.

Depending on the formula you know, you can find the length of a side in 1 of 2 ways. 

The first way uses a triangle. Using the radius of the polygon you can create 8 congruent triangles. The center angle will be 360 / 8 = 45 and two side lengths of 20. You can find the length of the base using the law of cosines.

c^2 = 20^2 + 20^2 - 2(20)(20)(cos 45)
c^2 = 400 + 400 - 800(cos 45)
c^2 = 800 - 800(cos 45)
c = sqrt(800 - 800(cos 45)
c = 15.31

The second way is to use this formula:
r = s / (2 sin(180 / n))
20 = s / (2 sin(180/8)
(20)(2)sin(22.5) = s
(40)sin(22.5) = s
s = 15.31

We need to calculate the perimeter. As there are 8 sides (8)(15.31) = 122.48
Now we need to calculate the apothem using

a = S / (2 tan (180 / n)
a = 15.31 / (2 tan (180 / 8))
a = 18.48

Now solve for the area

Area = ap/2
Area = (18.48)(122.48)/2
Area = 1131.72

perimeter = 122.48
area = 1131.72

The equation below has one solution.
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

9x-10 =3x+2

Subtract 3x from each side

9x-3x-10 = 3x-3x+2

6x -10 =2

Add 10 to each side

6x-10+10 = 2+10

6x = 12

Divide each side by 6

6x/6 = 12/6

x=2

Find the value of x if the perimeter is 30.<br> Х<br> X +3<br> 2x – 1
KatRina [158]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of triangle is A = a + b + C, the sum of the three sides.

P = 30 and the three sides are x + (2x - 1) + (x + 3)

30 = x + (2x - 1) + (x + 3)   combine like terms together

30 = (x + 2x + x) + (-1 + 3)    Add like terms  

30 = 4x + 2                    

30 - 2 = 4x              Subtract 2

28 = 4x                   Simply

7 = x                       Divide by 4      

Check x = 7;     x + 3 ;       2x - 1                        7 + 10 + 13 = 30

                     7 + 3 = 10     2(7) - 1

                                            14 - 1 = 13
