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.

Jessica is playing a game with the two spinners shown below.
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

The possible outcomes are:  {16,18,24,32}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Jessica will win the game if the product of two spinners  is an even number greater than 12.

in first option none of the outcome is greater than 12.

in second option we do not have all of the outcomes greater than 12.

in third we have some of the outcomes less than 12.

and the possible outcomes such that the product is greater than 12 is:

{16,18,24,32}.

Hence, option D is correct.

A diagonal of a cube measures StartRoot 294 EndRoot cm. The diagonal of a face measures 14 cm. What is the length of an edge of
hram777 [196]

The side of the edge of the cube is 9. 9cm

<h3>How to determine the length</h3>

Given that the diagonal of a cube measures the square root of 294cm and the diagonal of a face measures 14cm

To find the edge of the face, we know that the face of the cube is a square

Formula for diagonal of a square = \sqrt{2a}

Where is the side of the square

We then have,

\sqrt{2a}  = 14

Make 'a' the subject

a = \frac{14}{\sqrt{2} }

Simplify the surd

a = \frac{14}{\sqrt{2} } × \frac{14}{\sqrt{2} }

a = \frac{14\sqrt{2} }{2}

a = 7\sqrt{2}

a = 9. 9cm

Therefore, the side of the edge of the cube is 9. 9cm

Is 2/3 greater then 5/8?
sineoko [7]
The LCD is 24

2 * 8 16
3 * 8 24

5 * 3 15
8 * 3 24


Because 16 over 24 is greater than 15 over 24
2/3 is greater than 5/8

Could someone help me answer this? <br> Solve -2log8(x + 1) = -8.<br> Thanks so much!
drek231 [11]
Step one, divide both sides by -2
log8(x+1)=4

if the base is 10, and the 8 is together with (x+1): (cannot tell from the way it is written)
8(x+1)=10^4=10000
x+1=1250
x=1249

if the 8 is a base, 
8^4=(x+1)
x+1=4096
x=4095
