I don’t know how to use the triangle area to calculate the area of the inscribed polygons

First of all, let's recall the area of a triangle, knowing its base (b) and height (h):

A = \cfrac{bh}{2}

The exercise is showing you that, if you inscribe a polynomial with more and more side, the area of the polynomial will approximate the area of the circle better and better (you can see youself that the polygon is "filling" the circle more and more as the number of sides increase).

Now, the second column tells you the area of each of the triangles the polygon is split into. So, we can see that the first polygon is split into 3 triangles, each of them having base 1.73 and height 0.5.

So, the area of each triangle is

A = \cfrac{1.73 \cdot 0.5}{2} = 0.4325

There are three of these triangles, so the area of the whole polygon is

A = 0.4325 \cdot 3 = 1.2975

In the second case, you have six triangles, each with base 1 and height 0.87. So, the whole area is

A = 6 \cdot \cfrac{1\cdot 0.87}{2} = 0.87 \cdot 3 = 2.61

Finally, in the last case you have 8 triangles, each with base 0.77 and height 0.92. So, the whole area is

A = 8 \cdot \cfrac{0.77\cdot 0.92}{2} = 0.77\cdot 0.92 \cdot 4 = 2.8336

Answer:

Tell me if i am wrong. :)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for y:

Q.1   2x + y = -1

       y = -1 - 2x

Q. 2.  4x - 5y = 7

        y = 7 - 4x over -5

Graph y= x−2.<br> PLZZ HELP
nataly862011 [7]

Explanation: To graph the equation y = x - 2, the idea is simple.

We pick three values for <em>x</em>, plug them into the

equation, and find the corresponding values for <em>y</em>.

In order to do this in an organized way, we set up a chart.

Down the left side we make a column for our x's, down the right side we make a column for our y's, and in the middle we make a column for the side of the equation that contains the <em>x</em>, in this case, x - 2.

So reading the chart from left to right, we have our <em>x</em> or what we plug into the equation, then we have the x - 2 or what happens to the x when we plug it into the equation, and finally we have our <em>y</em> or what we end up with after plugging <em>x</em> into the equation.

So our first step in filling out the chart is choosing

the x's that we want to plug into the equation.

When graphing lines, I always choose three x's,

a positive number, zero, and a negative number.

The easiest numbers to pick are usually 1, 0, and -1.

So for 1, we plug a 1 into the equation for <em>x</em>

and we have y = (1) - 2 or -1

For 0 we plug a 0 into the equation for <em>x</em>

and we have y = (0) - 2 or -2.

For -1 we plug a -1 into the equation for <em>x</em>

and we have y = (-1) - 2 or -3.

So our points are (1, -1), (0, -2), and (-1, -3).

I looked at the x and y column to find those points.

Since our domain is all real numbers, we can connect these points based on the pattern that they are forming on the graph which is a line.
