Octagon, stop sign.
Eight isoscles triangles. It looks like we're told the side is 9.9 and the height to the side (also called the apothem) is 12.
So each isosceles triangle has area (1/2)(9.9)(12) and we have eight of them,
area = 8(1/2)(9.9)(12) = 475.2
Answer: 475.2
Usually we wouldn't be told 9.9 -- this is the baby version. We know each of those isoscles triangles has unique angle 360/8=45 degrees, so the apothem and half the side of the octagon are a right triangle with acute angle 22.5 degrees.
The area of the right triangle with long leg 12, short leg x,
tan 22.5 = x/12 or
x = 12 tan 22.5
Twice that is what we're told is 9.9; let's check:
2x = 24 tan 22.5 = 9.941125496954282
The area of the little right triangle is
(1/2) 12 × 12 tan 22.5
and there are 16 of these
16 (1/2) 12 × 12 tan 22.5 ≈ 477.174
Answer:
b) 15 winners
Step-by-step explanation
if 3 winners get $720,000 each that means there is $2,160,000 total. So if each winner gets $144,000 each that means there are 15 winners.
(2,160,000/ 144,000)
To solve for the slope given two lines, use the formula:
(y₂ - y₁)
----------
(x₂ - x₁)
Set one of the points as (x₁, y₁), and the other as (x₂, y₂).
(x₁, y₁) = <span>(0,32)
</span>(x₂, y₂) <span>= (100,212)
plug into corresponding places:
</span>(y₂ - y₁) (212 - 32) (180)
---------- = -------------- = -------
(x₂ - x₁) (100 - 0) (100)
180/100 is your slope
If you want simplified, it will be: 9/5
hope this helps
If you apply the or both
Only 1 of the students would need to know the "or both", therefore maximizing the remaining amount of students you can put in.
Gerald, let's call him, knows French AND German, so there's only one less student that knows french and german. Gerald is 1 student.
MAXIMUM:
There are now 14 monolinguistic French speakers and 16 monolinguistic German's, 30 students + Gerald=31.
Minimum:
As a bonus, the minimum is 15 students knowing french AND German and only 2 monolinguistic German speakers, so 17.
Merry Christmas and a happy new year
