Find the area of the polygon

Mathematics
1 answer:
Helen [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming a perpendicular line(apotherm) is extended from the midpoint of the polygon to the midpoint of one of its sides, then we can determine the length of the apotherm by applying Pythagorean theorem which is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

Let a represent the apotherm

Hypotenuse = 4

Apotherm = a

Opposite = a(apotherm = length of each side/2)

Therefore,

4² = a² + a²

16 = 2a²

a² = 16/2 = 8

a = √8 = 2√2

The formula for determining the area of a polygon is expressed as

Area = a² × n × tan 180/n

Where n represents the number of sides of the polygon.

n = 6

Therefore,

Area = (2√2)² × 6 × tan(180/6)

Area = 48 × tan 30

Area = 27.2

Solve this system of lineal equations.separate the x- and y- values with a comma 2x=68-12y and 8x=-28+12y
Levart [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

rewrite each equation

1) 2x+12y=68

2)8x-12y=-28

because the y values are the same number but opposite signs they will cancel out nicely.

10x=40

x=4

now lets plug x into any of the equations.

2(4)+12y=68

12y=60

y=5

(4,5)
