The ratio of their perimeters is \frac{1}{2} and the ratio of their areas is \frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

A regular n-side polygon has

  • n equal sides
  • n equal angles
  • The measure of each interior angle = \frac{(n-2).180}{n}
  • Its perimeter = n × a, where a is the length of its side

<em>V.I.Note: all regular polygons have same number of sides are similar, because their interior angles are equal in measures and their sides are proportion</em>

<em />

∵ There are to regular octagons

- Regular octagon has 8 equal sides and 8 equal angles

∴ The two octagon are similar

∵ Their sides are 3 inches and 6 inches

∴ The constant ratio between their sides = \frac{3}{6}

- Divide the two terms of the ratio by 3 to simplify it

∴ The constant ratio between their sides = \frac{1}{2}

In similar figures <em>the ratio between their perimeters is equal to the constant ratio between their sides</em>, and <em>the ratio between their areas is equal to square the constant ratio between their sides</em>

∵ The two octagons are similar

∵ The constant ratio between their sides = \frac{1}{2}

∵ The ratio between their perimeters = the constant ratio between

   their sides

∴ The ratio between their perimeters = \frac{1}{2}

∵ The ratio between their areas = (constant ratio)²

∴ The ratio between their areas = (\frac{1}{2})^{2}=\frac{1}{4}

The ratio of their perimeters is \frac{1}{2} and the ratio of their areas is \frac{1}{4}

A certain genetic condition affects 8% of the population in a city of 10,000. Suppose there is a test for the condition that has
enot [183]

Solution:

Population in the city= 10,000

As genetic condition affects 8% of the population.

8 % of 10,000

=\frac{8}{100}\times 10,000=800

As, it is also given that, there is an error rate of 1% for condition (i.e., 1% false negatives and 1% false positives).

So, 1% false negatives means out of 800 tested who are found affected , means there are chances that 1% who was found affected are not affected at all.

So, 1% of 800 =\frac{1}{100}\times 800=8

Also,  1% false positives means out of 10,000 tested,[10,000-800= 9200] who are found not affected , means there are chances that 1% who was found not affected can be affected also.

So, 1% of 9200 =\frac{1}{100}\times 9200=92

1. Has condition Does not have condition totals  = 800

2. Test positive =92

3. Test negative =8

4. Total =800 +92 +8=900

5. Probability (as a percentage) that a person has the condition if he or she tests positive= As 8% are found positive among 10,000 means 9200 are not found affected.But there are chances that out of 9200 , 1% may be affected

=\frac{\text{1 percent of 9200}}{9200}\\\\ \frac{\frac{1}{100}\times 9200}{9200}=\frac{92}{9200}\\\\ =0.01

that is Probability equal to 0.01 or 1%.
