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}

Lim x--&gt; 0 (e^x(sinx)(tax))/x^2
Tom [10]

Make use of the known limit,

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to0}\frac{\sin x}x=1

We have

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to0}\frac{e^x\sin x\tan x}{x^2}=\left(\lim_{x\to0}\frac{e^x}{\cos x}\right)\left(\lim_{x\to0}\frac{\sin^2x}{x^2}\right)

since \tan x=\dfrac{\sin x}{\cos x}, and the limit of a product is the same as the product of limits.

\dfrac{e^x}{\cos x} is continuous at x=0, and \dfrac{e^0}{\cos 0}=1. The remaining limit is also 1, since

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to0}\frac{\sin^2x}{x^2}=\left(\lim_{x\to0}\frac{\sin x}x\right)^2=1^2=1

so the overall limit is 1.

PLZ HELP I GIVE BRAINLIST!!
Tom [10]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

X + 2y = 13

Since x = 3

3 + 2y = 13

2y = 13 - 3

2y = 10

Divide both sides by 2

Y = 5
