The convex heptagon has 14 distinct diagonals can be drawn

Step-by-step explanation:

A polygon is said to be a heptagon if it has 7 vertices, 7 sides and 7 angles. A heptagon is called a convex heptagon if the lines connecting any two non-adjacent vertices lie completely inside the heptagon

The formula of number of diagonals in any polygon is $d=\frac{n(n-3)}{2}$ , where

d is the number of the diagonals of the polygon
n is the number of sides of the polygon

∵ The heptagon has 7 sides

∴ n = 7

∵ The number of diagonals = $\frac{n(n-3)}{2}$

- Substitute n by 7 in the rule above

∴ The number of diagonals = $\frac{7(7-3)}{2}$

∴ The number of diagonals = $\frac{7(4)}{2}$

∴ The number of diagonals = $\frac{28}{2}$

∴ The number of diagonals = 14

The convex heptagon has 14 distinct diagonals can be drawn

What is the shortest board a man must buy in order to cut 3 sections from it, each 4 feet 8 inches long?

kakasveta [241]

Convert the mixed number to inches. 3 feet 8 inches = 44 inches (12 inches per foot x 3 feet= 36 inches + 8 inches= 44 inches). 44 inches (length each section needs to be) x 4 (number of sections needed)=176 inches (total molding needed). To determine the amount of molding needed in feet, convert 176 inches into feet by dividing 176 inches by 12 inches. You get 14 2/3 feet, so the shortest board length is 15 feet.

What is the probability that a point chosen at random in the given figure will be inside the larger square and outside the small

liraira [26]

Answer:

51/100

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that a point chosen at random in the given figure will be inside the larger square and outside the smaller square is equal to the ratio of the area of interest to the total area:

P(inside larger square and outside smaller square) = area of interest / total area

P(inside larger square and outside smaller square) = area inside the larger square and outside the smaller square / area of the larger square

Calculations:

1. Area inside the larger square: side² = (10 cm)² = 100 cm²

2. Area inside the smaller square = side² = (7cm)² = 49 cm²

3. Area inside the larger square and outside the smaller square

100 cm² - 49 cm² = 51 cm²

4. P (inside larger square and outside smaller squere)

51 cm² / 100 cm² = 51/100

What is the domain and derivative of f(x)=ln(2xsqrt(2+x))?

wolverine [178]

For domain 2x sqrt(2+x)>0
x>0,2+x>0,x>-2 combining
we get x>2
f'(x)=[1/{2x sqrt(2+x)}][{2x/(2 sqrt(2+x))}+2 sqrt(2+x)]
