One-eighth represents one part of a whole that consists of eight units, but one-twelfth represents one part of a whole that consists of 12 units. Fractions are made up of numerators and denominators. Numerators are the top numbers and denominators are the bottom numbers. The numerator is the number that represents the part of a whole. The denominator is the total number of parts.

1/8 is less than 1/2 because the bigger the denominator is.... the smaller the piece.

Given a regular decagon, find the measures of the angles formed by (
Sonja [21]
A decagon has 10 sides (think decade and decathlon). From the center of the decagon we draw the radii and in doing so we take the area of the decagon and divide it into 10 congruent Triangles.

The angles around the center add up to 360 because they form a circle and since there are 10, they each measure 36 degrees. So the answer to the first part (the angle between the radii) is 36 degrees.

Each of these triangles has two equal sides (both radii) so is Isosceles. That means that the base angles are congruent. So the two angles that are left in each triangle must measure the same. Since the angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees, we know that the two remaining angles are together equal to 180-36=144 degrees. Since they are equal in measure they each measure 72 degrees.

Thus the answer to the second part, trhe measure of the angle between a radius and the side of the polygon is 72 degrees.

Answer:

65 babies

Step-by-step explanation:

Each hour has 60 minutes so 20 minutes would be divided by 3.

So  195 ÷ 3 is 65

The diagram shows the entrance to a tunnel.
gladu [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

it filled up half the circle (up to the center point) - if we had a full circle. but a little bit is cut off (below AB).

what we see is that the shaded area is the sum of the area of the triangle AOB and 2 equally sized circle segment areas left and right of AOB.

since we are dealing with a half-circle, we have 180° in total. 120° are taken by AOB, so, that leaves us with 180-120 = 60° for both circle segments (so, one has an angle of 30°).

and 2×30° = 1×60°, so we can calculate the area of one 60° segment instead of two 30° segments.

AOB is an isoceles triangle (the legs are equally long, and therefore also the 2 side angles are equal).

the area of this triangle AOB is

1/2 × a × b × sin(C) = 1/2 × 3 × 3 × sin(120) =

= 3.897114317... m²

a circle segment area of 60° is 60/360 = 1/6 of the full circle area (as a full circle = 360°).

so, it's area is

pi×r² × 1/6 = pi×3²/6 = pi×3/2 = 4.71238898... m²

so, the total area of the shaded area is

3.897114317... m² + 4.71238898... m² =

= 8.609503297... m²
