to the nearest square unit what is the area of a regular octagon with a side length of 15 and an apothem of 18.1

1 answer:

8 0

To find the area of a regular octagon, you can split the shape into eight congruent triangles from the center, find the area of one triangle, and then multiply it by eight.

If you use this method, you will find that the base of the triangle is the side length of the octagon (in this case, 15 units), and that the height is the apothem (in this case, 18.1 units).

From here, you can use the basic formula used to find the area of a triangle:
A = 1/2bh
A = 1/2 (15) (18.1)
A = 135.75 square units

Finally multiply the area of that triangle by eight.
8(135.75) = 1086

The area of the octagon is 1086 square units.

An employee of a store's gift wrapping center is wrapping 8 gifts

Hitman42 [59]

The area A of a rectangle is A = bh, where b is the base of the rectangle and h is the height. The area of each rectangle with side lengths 1.5 ft and 2 ft is 1.5 × 2 = 3ft2. Since there are two rectangles with these dimensions, the combined area is 2 × 3 = 6 ft2. The area of each rectangle with side lengths 1.5 ft and 2.5 ft is 1.5 × 2.5 = 3.75 ft2. The area of each rectangle with side lengths 2 ft and 2.5 ft is 2 × 2.5 = 5 ft2. Since there are two rectangles of each type, the combined area is 2 × 3.75 + 2 × 5 =17.5 ft2. <u><em>So, the total surface area of the box is 6 ft2+ 17.5 ft2 = 23.5 ft2</em></u>

The employee needs to wrap 8 boxes, each with a surface area of 23.5 ft2. So, the combined surface area needing to be wrapped is 8 × 23.5 = 188 ft2. Since there is only 160 square feet of wrapping paper left, the employee will not be able to wrap all of the gifts

Answer:

3,4,5 are congruent angles

Step-by-step explanation:

Congruent Angles have the same angle (in degrees or radians). That is all. They don't have to point in the same direction. They don't have to be on similar sized lines.
