Rasek [7]3 years ago

Answer:

<u>1 > 6/7 > 5/8 > 2/5</u>    <u>OR</u>     <u>2/5 < 5/8 < 6/7 < 1 </u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 2/5, 6/7, 5/8, and 1

We need to make the numbers in order from the least to the greatest or from the greatest to the least

The easy method is convert the rational numbers to decimal numbers

So,

2/5 = 0.4

6/7 ≈ 0.857

5/8 = 0.625

1 = 1

So, the numbers form the least to the greatest are:

0.4 , 0.625 , 0.857 , 1

So,

2/5 , 5/8 , 6/7 , 1

The inequality correctly compares the numbers are:

<u>2/5 < 5/8 < 6/7 < 1</u>

Or can be written from the greatest to the least as:

<u>1 > 6/7 > 5/8 > 2/5 </u>

Find the perimeter and area of the polygon shown below.
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

I'm sorry. I cannot explicitly give you an answer. The picture of the polygon is not provided. You may have forgotten to upload it, nevertheless, I''ll try my best to be of help to you.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many different polygons. But the general formula to finding the perimeter of a polygon is:

P = n * l

n = number of sides

l= value shared and assigned to each side

The general formula to finding the area of a regular polygon is:

A = (n*l*apothem )/2

n = number of sides

l = length of one side

apothem = the value of the segment connecting the center of the polygon to a midpoint of one of the sides.

Hope this helps a little! You can always submit the question again with the picture and I'll be more than happy to help you. <3

5. Each polygon circumscribes a circle. Find the perimeter.
Oksana_A [137]

See the diagram of the circumscribed polygon attached below:

Answer:

A. 14.2 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 3.7 + 3.6 + 3.4 + 1.9 + g

Let's find g.

a = 1.9 in. (Tangents drawn from an external point of a circle are congruent)

b = 3.4 - 1.9 = 1.5 in.

b = c = 1.5 in. (Tangents drawn from an external point)

d = 3.6 - 1.5 = 2.1 in.

d = e = 2.1 in. (Tangents drawn from an external point)

f = 3.7 - 2.1 = 1.6 in.

f = g = 1.6 in. (Tangents drawn from an external point)

✔️Therefore,

Perimeter = 3.7 + 3.6 + 3.4 + 1.9 + 1.6 = 14.2 in.
