Answer:46


Step-by-step explanation:Regular polygons are shapes made of straight lines with certain relationships among their lengths. For instance, a square has 4 sides, all the same length. A regular pentagon has 5 sides, all the same length. For these shapes, there are formulas for finding the area. But for irregular polygons, which are made of straight lines of any length, there are no formulas, and you need to be a little creative to find the area. Fortunately, any polygon may be divided into triangles, and there is a simple formula for the area of triangles.


Label the vertices (points) of the polygon starting with 1 at an arbitrary vertex and continuing clockwise around the polygon. There should be as many vertices as there are sides. E.g. for a pentagon (five sides) there will be five vertices.


Draw a line from vertex 1 to vertex 3. This will make one triangle, with vertices 1, 2, and 3. If there are only 4 sides, it will also make a triangle with vertices 1, 3 and 4.If the polygon has more than 4 sides, draw a line from vertex 3 to vertex 5. Continue in this way until you run out of vertices.


Compute the area of each triangle. The formula for the area of a triangle is 1/2 * b * h, where b is the base and h is the height.


Add up the areas, and this is the area of the polygon.

Answer:

98 sq yd

Step-by-step explanation:

46 is NOT the right ans n the method of dividing into triangles is not the best way.

the polygon is a rectangle minus a triangle.

the triangles sides are 3,4 n 5

it is a right-angle triangle cuz' 3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2

so the triangle area = base x height /2

= 3x4/2 = 6

rectangle area = length x width

= 13*8 = 104

so the polygon's area = 104 - 6

= 98 sq yd

To make a specific orange color, a painter uses 14 of a can of red paint and 12 of a can of yellow paint. Fill in each statement
Otrada [13]

Answer:  For every 1 can of red paint, the number of yellow paints used by the painter is \frac{6}{7} and

There are approximately 29 cans of yellow paints for 34 cans of red paints.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of cans of red paint = 14

Number of cans of yellow paint = 12

According to question, we have to find that for every 1 can of red paint the painter uses what number of yellow paints;

Since the ratio of red paint to yellow paint is given by

14:12\\\\7:6\\\\1:\frac{6}{7}

So, for every 1 can of red paint, the number of yellow paints used by the painter is \frac{6}{7}

Similarly,

If Number of can of red paint is used = 34

So, Number of cans of yellow paint will be

\frac{6}{7}\times 34\\\\=\frac{6\times 34}{7}\\\\=29\ approx.

Hence, there are approximately 29 cans of yellow paints for 34 cans of red paints.

Sumayya wants to pour 70.61 grams of salt into a container. So far, she has poured 19.2 grams. How much more salt should Sumayya
Nataliya [291]

51.41 g

Step-by-step explanation:

70.61 - 19.2 = 51.41

u minus the amount he poured already from the total

Maria sets a goal of jogging 17.5 miles this week she plans on running 2.75 miles each day for seven days if she follows her pla
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

So, to figure this out, we must find the total miles Maria ran in a week.

We know that she ran 2.75 miles each day.

She did this for 7 days.

Her goal was 17.5 miles.

So first, multiply the amount of days by the amount of miles per day:

7*2.75

=

19.25

So now we know that she ran a total of 19.25 miles in a week.

Since she onlu needed to run 17.5 miles, we can instantly rule out:

A - Runs less 17.5 miles

C - Runs exactly 17.5 miles

This leaves:

B - She runs 1.75 miles more than 17.5 miles

D - She runs 2.75 miles more than 17.5 miles

To figure out which on is correct, subtract her total miles by her goal:

19.25-17.5

=

1.75

So we know it must be:

B - She runs 1.75 miles more than 17.5 miles

This is because we figured out she ran an extra 1.75 miles.

Hope this helps! :)
