Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the diagram of a regular octagon is inscribed inside a circle.

Suppose the perimeter if the octagon is 8<em>a</em>.

(a)

Compute the measure of a side of the octagon as follows:

\text{Perimeter}=8\times side\\\\8\times side=8a\\\\side=a

Thus, the side of the octagon is <em>a</em> units.

(b)

The sum of all angles of around a point is 360°.

Consider the point P on the octagon.

The sum of all the angle surrounding P will be 360°.

There are a total of 8 angle surrounding the point P.

Then the measure of central angle is:

\text{Central Angle}=\frac{360^{o}}{8}=45^{o}

Thus, the measure of central angle is 45°.

(c)

The line segment from the center of an octagon to the midpoint of a side, perpendicular to said side, is known as the apothem.

Consider the diagram.

In the diagram the line segment PC is an apothem, that is perpendicular to the AB.

The measure of segment AC = a/2 and the measure of segment PA is <em>r</em> (radius of the circle).

Compute he measure of PC as follows:

PA^{2}=PC^{2}+AC^{2}\\\\PC^{2}=PA^{2}-AC^{2}\\\\PC=\sqrt{PA^{2}-AC^{2}}

      =\sqrt{r^{2}-\frac{a^{2}}{4}}

Thus, the measure of the apothem of the octagon  is\sqrt{r^{2}-\frac{a^{2}}{4}}.

(d)

The area of an octagon is:

\text{Area}=2(1+\sqrt{2})a^{2}

The area of a square is 9 centimeters squared (cm^2) If the sides of the square are doubled in length, what is the new area, in
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The question says area of a square = 9 cm squared.

And they said if the sides are doubled in length what is the new length

so new length = 9 cm^2 × 9 cm^2

which should give you 81cm^2

therefore your answer should be = C

What number would ypu add to both sides of x^2+7x=4 to complete the square
Tcecarenko [31]

For a monic quadratic (factor of 1 on x^2) we always add half the coefficient on the linear (x) term, so

\left(\dfrac 7 2\right)^2 = \dfrac{49}{4}

Answer: 49/4

x^2 + 7x + \dfrac{49}{4} = 4 + \dfrac{49}{4}

(x + \frac 7 2)^2 = 4 + \frac{49}{4}
