What is the area of a regular polygon with 100 sides and a perimeter of 100 units?

1 answer:

3 0

Now, if the regular polygon has 100 sides, and the perimeter is 100 units, that simply means that each side is 1 unit, foot, meter, else.

so, we know each side is 1 unit long, and we know there are 100 sides,

$\bf \textit{area of a regular polygon}\\\\
A=\cfrac{1}{4}ns^2cot\left( \frac{180}{n} \right)\quad 
\begin{cases}
n=\textit{number of sides}\\
s=\textit{length of a side}\\
\frac{180}{n}=central~angle\\
\qquad~~ in~degrees\\
----------\\
n=100\\
s=1
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
A=\cfrac{1}{4}\cdot 100\cdot 1^2\cdot cot\left( \frac{180}{100} \right)\implies A=25cot\left(\frac{9}{5}^o \right)
\\\\\\
A\approx 795.51289884$

Answer:

$A = 128\,cm^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

El área del rectángulo se halla a través de la siguiente fórmula: (The area of the rectangle is obtained by the following formula:)

$A = (40\,cm - 2\cdot x)\cdot x$

Donde el área y $x$ se miden en centímetros cuadrados y centímetros, respectivamente. (Where area and $x$ are measured in square centimeters and centimeters, respectively)

Ahora, $x$ se reemplaza y se encuentra el valor numérico del área: (Now, $x$ is substituted and numerical value of area is finally determined:)

$A = [40\,cm - 2\cdot (4\,cm)]\cdot (4\,cm)$

$A = 128\,cm^{2}$

Each marble bag sold by Hans's Marble Company contains 8 purple marbles for every 5 green marbles. If a bag has 30 green marbles

gregori [183]

We can set up a proportion since we know the ratio between the # of purple marbles and the # of green marbles.

A ratio is a way to compare two different values: for every 8 purple marbles there are 5 green marbles

<h2> $\frac{8}{5} = \frac{p}{30}$ </h2><h2 /><h2>when we cross multiply, we get 5p = 240 </h2><h2>we divide both sides by 5 to isolate the variable </h2><h2 /><h3><u>There are 48 purple marbles </u></h3>
