Answer:

B. 57\text{ in}^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been that apothem of a regular octagon is 4.2 inches and length of each side is 3.4 inches. We are asked to find the area of our given octagon.

We know that area of octagon is half the product of perimeter and apothem of the octagon.

\text{Area of octagon}=\frac{1}{2}\times (a\cdot p), where,

a = Apothem of octagon,

p = perimeter of octagon.

We will find perimeter of our given octagon by multiplying length of each side by 8.

\text{Perimeter of octagon}=8\times 3.4\text{ in}

\text{Perimeter of octagon}=27.2\text{ in}

\text{Area of octagon}=\frac{1}{2}\times (4.2\text{ in}\cdot 27.2\text{ in})

\text{Area of octagon}=\frac{1}{2}\times (114.24\text{ in}^2)

\text{Area of octagon}=57.12\text{ in}^2\approx 57\text{ in}^2

Therefore, the area of our given octagon is 57 square inches and option B is the correct choice.

The area of the regular octagon is calculated as half of the product of the perimeter and the apothem (ap), using the formula of the area of the regular polygon.
 We have then:
 A = ((p) * (ap)) / 2
 Where,
 p: perimeter
 ap: apotema
 Substituting values:
 A = ((8 * 3.4) * (4.2)) / 2
 A = 57.12 in ^ 2
 Answer:
 
the area of the regular octagon is:

The equation 2x^2 + x - 1 = 0 has two solutions. Find an equation of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0, which solutions....
leonid [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the solution to

2x^2 + x -1 =0

x^2+ (1/2)x -(1/2)

are a and b

Hence a + b = -(1/2) ( minus the coefficient of x )

ab = -1/2 (the constant)

A. We want to have an equation where the roots are a +5 and b+5.

Therefore the sum of the roots is (a+5) + (b+5) = a+ b +10 =(-1/2) + 10 =19/2.

The product is (a+5)(b+5) =ab + 5(a+b) + 25 = (-1/2) + 5(-1/2) + 25 = 22.

So the equation is

x^2-(19/2)x + 22 =0

2x^2-19x + 44 =0

B. We want the roots to be 3a and 3b.

Hence (3a) + (3b) = 3(a+b) = 3(-1/2) =-3/2 and

(3a)(3b) = 9(ab) =9(-1/2)=-9/2.

So the equation is

x^2 +(3/2) x -9/2 = 0

2x^2 + 3x -9 =0.

Jordan is putting a fence around a garden that is shaped like a half circle and rectangle
grin007 [14]

Answer:

92 ft  

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume the garden has the shape shown below.

The length of fencing equals the distance around three sides of the rectangle plus that around the semicircle.

1. Around the rectangle

Distance = 28 ft + 14 ft + 28 ft = 70 ft

2. Around the semicircle

For a circle.

C = 2πr

For the semicircle,

½C =½(2πr) = πr  

D = 14 ft, so

r =    7 ft

\text{Distance} = \dfrac{22}{7} \times \text{7 ft} = \text{22 ft}

3. Total distance

Distance = 70 ft + 22 ft = 92 ft

Jordan will need 92 ft of fencing.

The temperature changes can be represented by the expression -0.5( 1 -2h).Chase says that the temperature change can also be rep
UNO [17]

Answer:

The expression are equivalent

Step-by-step explanation:

The question requests that we show whether the equation -0.5( 1 -2h) is equivalent to 4(2h + 2) - 7h - 8.5 or not :

Simplifying 4(2h + 2) - 7h - 8.5 ; we have ;

4(2h + 2) - 7h - 8.5

8h + 8 - 7h - 8.5

8h - 7h + 8 - 8.5

h - 0.5

-0.5(1 - 2h)

-0.5 + h

= h - 0.5

Hence, both expressions are the same
