Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a regular polygon is
where a is the apothem and p is the perimeter. Perimeter is simple: just count the number of sides the polygon has and multiply it by 3 (the length of one side).
p = 3(9) is 27 inches for the perimeter.
We have what we need now to find the area:
and
so
A = 55.35 square inches
If you want to solve the equation
![R-C=P](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20R-C%3DP%20)
for C, you can work like this: subtract P from both sides:
![R-C-P = 0](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20R-C-P%20%3D%200%20)
Add C to both sides:
![R-P=C](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20R-P%3DC%20)
So the answer choices are
1. a-b=even
2. a and b are not odd
3. a and b are odd
4. a-b=even
5. a-b=not even
even=not odd
not even=odd so choice 5 is really a-b=odd
basically choice 4 and 1 are the same so we cross one out
so
the problem said that a and b are odd so therefor choice2 is wrong and choice 3 is correct
then both are odd
odd-odd=even because
an even number is represented as 2n where n is an integer
an odd number can be represented as 2n+1 so assume you have 2 odd numbers 2 away from each other so odd and (odd+2)
odd+2-odd=2n+1+2-(2n+1)=2n+1+2-2n-1=2n-2n+1-1+2=2
you are left with odd
using integers
7 and 11
11-7=4
even
so odd-odd=even, it depends on weather you consider 0 odd or even
so the asnwers are:
a and b are odd
a-b is not an even integer
