Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of a polygon is equal to the sum of all the sides of the polygon. Quadrilateral PTOS consists of sides TP, SP, TO, and SO.
Since TO and SO are both radii of the circle, they must be equal. Thus, since TO is given as 10 cm, SO will also be 10 cm.
To find TP and SP, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem. Since they are tangents, they intersect the circle at a , creating right triangles
and
.
The Pythagorean Theorem states that the following is true for any right triangle:
, where
is the hypotenuse, or the longest side, of the triangle
Thus, we have:
Since both TP and SP are tangents of the circle and extend to the same point P, they will be equal.
What we know:
Thus, the perimeter of the quadrilateral PTOS is equal to
Answer:
1. 0.8 cm
2. 1.6 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
1.
The scale for 2nd map is 1 cm to 50 km, that means "1 cm on map" is "50 km in real life".
We already know distance from Cleveland to Cincinnati is 40 km, which is less than 50, so we know the distance on map would be less than 1 cm.
So we set up ratio and figure out (let x be distance on map from Cleveland to Cincinnati):
Hene, 0.8 centimeters would be the distance in 2nd map
2.
A scale of 1:50 means 1 cm equal 50 cm
So, 0.8m would be
0.8 * 100 = 80 cm
Hence, 80 cm would be represented by 80/50 on the map, that is:
That is 1.6 centimeters
