Answer:

x = 8.69

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that the perimeter of the dodecagon is 54, so each edge will be 54/12

54/12 = 4.5 cm

if we draw the lines to remove 6 vertices and form a hexagon, 6 triangles with 2 sides of 4.5 cm are formed.

we know that the angle of each vertex is 150 ° because it is a dodecagon

if we apply the law of cosines we can take the other side of the triangle, since we only need 2 side and the opposite angle to the side we want to know

a would be our x

b = 4.5

c = 4.5

A = 150°

a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc * cos (A)

x^2 = 4.5^2 + 4.5^2 - 2 * 4.5 * 4.5 * cos (150)

x^2 = 20.25 + 20.25 - 40.50 * -0.866

x^2 = 40.50 + 35.07

x = √ 75.57

x = 8.69

ASAP!! Three consecutive numbers have a sum of 156. What are the 3 numbers?
ryzh [129]

For this problem, all you need to do is find the three #'s that add up to 156.

So, lets look at the answers and add them up.

A. 50, 52, 54

50 + 52 + 54 = 156

B. 51,52,53

51 + 52 + 53 = 156

C. 49,50,51

49 + 50 + 51 = 150

D. 49,51,53

49 + 51 + 53 = 153

We get the answers (50,52,54) and (51,52,53)

Now, consecutive numbers are numbers that in order, like 1,2,3.

Therefore, the answer is (51,52,53)

DENIUS [597]
For this problem all it looks like you have to do is multiply 30,000 by 81 to get the total attendance for the 81 home games. Forgive me if I'm wrong but I hope this helps. The answer is 2430000

a speedboat that costs $45,000 is depreciating at a rate of 20% per year. Find the value of the boat after 4 years.
son4ous [18]

Answer:

$18,432

Step-by-step explanation:

After the first year, the speedboat is now worth $36,000 because 20% of 45,000 is 9,000, and 45,000 - 9,000 = 36,000. After the second year, it is now worth $28,800. After the third year, it is worth $23,040 since 20% of 28,800 is 5,760 and 28,800 - 5,760 = 23,040. After four years, the boat that once was worth $45,000 is now worth $18,432.
