Answer:

9a+36

Step-by-step explanation:

The average (arithmetic mean) of four numbers is 4a + 16. When a fifth number is added, the average becomes 5a + 20.

The average (arithmetic mean) of four numbers is 4a + 16.

Sum of 4 numbers = 4 times the average

Sum of 4 numbers =4(4a+16)= 16a+64

sum  of 5 numbers = 5 times the average of 5 numbers

Sum of 5 numbers =5(5a+20)=25a+100

fifth number = sum of 5 numbers minus the sum of 4 numbers

fifth \ number = 25a+100-(16a+64)

25a+100-16a-64

9a+36

Find the similarity ratio and the ratio of perimeters for two regular octagons with areas of 18in2 and 50in2
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

3. 3 : 5; 3: 5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's find the leght of the sides of each octagon.

A= 18in^{2}

The area of an octagon is defined by

A=2(1+\sqrt{2})l^{2}

Replacing the area

18=2(1+\sqrt{2})l^{2}\\\frac{18}{2(1+\sqrt{2})} =l^{2}\\l=\sqrt{\frac{18}{3.4} } \approx 2.3 \ in

Therefore, the side of the first octagon is 1.6 inches long.

Its perimeter is: P=8(2.3in)=18.4in

A=50 in^{2}

50=2(1+\sqrt{2})l^{2}\\\frac{50}{2(1+\sqrt{2})} =l^{2}\\l=\sqrt{\frac{50}{3.4} } \approx 3.8 \ in

Therefore, the side of the second octagon is 3.8 inches long.

Its perimeter is P=8(3.8in)=30.4in.

Now, let's divide to find each ratio:

\frac{3.8}{2.3} \approx 1.65 (the ratio between sides).

\frac{30.4}{18.4} \approx 1.65 (the ratio between perimeters).

Therefore, the closest ratio is 3. 3 : 5; 3: 5
