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}

A trinomial is a polynomial with three terms. It can be determined if it is a difference of two squares when you factor it.

The resulting factor of a trinomial that is a difference of two squares is: a²<span> – b</span>²<span> = (a + b)(a – b) or (a – b)(a + b)</span>

You will notice that the middle term is missing. This means that the middle term zeroes out as a result of having the same number of different signs (+ and -)

Which equation should be used to calculate the 43rd partial sum for the arithmetic sequence.
MariettaO [177]

Answer: First Option : Sₙ= n/2(a₁ + aₙ)

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth partial sum of an arithmetic sequence or the sum of the first n terms of the arithmetic series can be defined as the sum of a finite number of term in an arithmetic sequence.

It is calculated using the formula:

Sₙ= n/2(a₁ + aₙ)

Where :

a₁ = First term

aₙ = last term

n = number of terms

HELP PLEASE WILL GIVE BRAINLIST
rodikova [14]

Answer:

Let R be the greater radius and r be the smaller radius

A) Area of the sidewalk = R^2 - r^2   - This can be the expression

B)  = 3.14

=(R^2-r^2)

=(11^2-9^2)

=(121-81)

=*40

That was the simplified expression

Answer = 3.14 * 40 = 125.6m^2

Can someone plzzz hekppp meeee
erastova [34]

Answer:

Use this formula for these kinda things.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember The z is the hypathonous, it means the biggest side.

{a}^{2}  +  {b}^{2}  =  {c}^{2}

where Z is going to be C

put this all together

{7}^{2}  +  {18}^{2}  =  {z}^{2}

put it into calculator, means 373=

{z}^{2}

therfore take the square root, it will be

z =  \sqrt{373}

which it will be 19.31
