We know that the diameter of the inner circle (d) and the side of a regular octagon (s) are tied by the formula:

d = (1 +√2) × s

The inverse formula is:

s = d / <span>(1 +√2)

Plugging in numbers:
s = 7 (1 + </span>√2)
   = 2.9 ft

Therefore the correct answer is A) <span>2.9 feet</span>

Answer:

2.9 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

I did it a different way. One including trigonometry. The question only tells the apothem, "diameter of the incircle." Apothem is the line segment from the center to the midpoint of segments in regular polygons. Incircle is a circle that connects all the midpoints in a regular polygon. You are trying to find the side. The angle of view is from the central angle, which is 45 degrees in an octagon. We have to split 45 in half, because when you try to find distance in a line segment, you do it through trig and trig requires a right triangle. Since you are finding the side, you need tangent. The angle of view (I don't know if that's the actual name), it touches the apothem, which would be adjacent. The line that the angle isn't touching is the  opposite. And tanganent uses both of those. The formula I used is tan(22.5)/1 = o/7. These are fractions. Then you cross multiply the fractions, so tan(22.5) goes with 7 and o goes with 1. When you cross multiply, you pretty much multiply the opposite fraction's side. The formula then would be o = tan(22.5) x 7. And that equals 2.9.

Simplify completely quantity 8 x minus 16 over quantity x squared minus 13 x plus 22 and find the restrictions on the variable.
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

hope this helps !

Step-by-step explanation:

1) ( 8 x- 16 ) / (x²- 13 x + 22 ) = ( 8 x- 16 ) ( x - 11) ( x -2 ) = 8 ( x-2) ( x-11) ( x- 2 ) = 8/(x-11)

Restriction x ≠ 11 & x ≠ 2

since both values render the denominator = to 0 & we can't divide by 0.

The quantity a varies directly with b and c and inversely with dThe quantity d is tripledWhich of the following must be true for
EastWind [94]

Answer:

We have the next relation:

A = (b*d)/c

because we have direct variation with b and d, but inversely variation with c.

Now, if we have 3d instead of d, we have:

A' = (b*(3d))/c

now, we want A' = A. If b,c, and d are the same in both equations, we have that:

3bd/c = b*d/c

this will only be true if b or/and d are equal to 0.

If d remains unchanged, and we can play with the other two variables we have:

3b'd/c' = bd/c

3b'/c' = b/c

from this we can took that: if c' = c, then b' = b/3, and if b = b', then c' = 3c.

Of course, there are other infinitely large possible combinations that are also a solution for this problem where neither b' = b or c' = c

The area of a rhombus is 40 in. If
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

10 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rhombus is the product of the lengths of the diagonals divided by 2.

Let the diagonals be x and y.

area = xy/2

Here you have

area = 40 in.^2

x = 8 in.

We are looking for y, the other diagonal.

xy/2 = area

(8 in.)y/2 = 40 in.^2

(8 in.)y = 80 in.^2

y = 10 in.

Answer: The other diagonal has length 10 in.
