A regular octagon is inscribed inside a circle. The perimeter of the octagon is units. A: What is the measure of a side of the o

ctagon? B: What is the measure of a central angle of the octagon? C: What is the approximate measure of the apothem of the octagon (to the nearest hundredth of a unit)? D: Using your answer to part C, what is the approximate area of the octagon (to the nearest whole )?

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}

3. Jason uncle buys a 1.5 pound bag of pencils for the beginning of the year. He puts 1/2 of the pencils in a box. If Jason gets
Tems11 [23]

The quantity of pounds of pencils that Jason gets, based on his sharing ratio, is <u>0.15 pounds</u>.

<h3>What is the sharing ratio?</h3>

The sharing ratio is the percentage or ratio that is held by a person out of the total value of the thing being shared.

Jason's share of the pencil can be determined by multiplying the total pencils in the box (1.5 x ¹/₂) by Jason's sharing ratio (¹/₅).

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Quantity of pencils bought = 1.5 pounds

Half of the pencils in a box = 0.75 pounds (1.5 x ¹/₂)

The pounds got by Jason from the box = <u>0.15 </u>(0.75 x ¹/₅)

Thus, the quantity of pounds of pencils that Jason gets is <u>0.15 pounds</u>.

Q3.
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

8.48%

Step-by-step explanation:

Bill's weight decreases from 64.8 kg to 59.3 kg.

We need to find the percentage decrease in Bill's weight. It can be calculated as follows :

\%=\dfrac{64.8 -59.3 }{64.8 }\times 100\\\\=8.48\%

So, the required decrease in percentage is 8.48%.

Write an expression to find the perimeter of<br> the rectangle below:<br> 2x - 3y<br> 3x - 1
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

2(5x-3y-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter of a rectangle formula:

2l+2w

l=length(2x-3y)5x

w=width(3x-1)

2(2x-3y)+2(3x-1)

4x-6y+6x-2

10x-6y-2

2) all of these numbers have a gcf of 2 so lets divide this equation by 2:

2(5x-3y-1)

hope this helps!

Every 2/3 hour, Harris can sew 1/6 pair of jeans. What is Harris's rate in pairs of jeans per hour?
STatiana [176]
Whole hour - 2/3 = 1/3

1/3 + 1/6 = 2/6 + 1/6
              = 3/6

Harris can sew half of a pair of jeans per hour.
