Answer:

The length of one side of the octagon is 7.65 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters given are;

A regular octagon inscribed in a circle of radius, r, of 10 cm.

The length of each side is found from the isosceles triangle formed by the radius and one side of the octagon

The sum of interior angles in a polygon, ∑θ_i = 180 × (n - 2)

Where;

n = The number of sides of the polygon

θ_i = The interior angle of the polygon

For the octagon, we have;

n = 8, therefore;

∑θ_i = 180 × (8 - 2) = 1080

Given that there are eight equal angles in a regular octagon, we have;

∑θ_i = 8 × θ_i = 1080

θ_i = 1080/8 = 135°

The sum of angles at the center of the circle = 360

Therefore, the angle at the center (tip angle) of the isosceles triangle formed by the radius and one side of the octagon = 360/8 = 45°

The base angles of the isosceles triangle is therefore, (180 - 45)/2 = 67.5° = θ_i/2

The length of the base of the isosceles triangle formed by the radius and one side of the octagon = The length of one side of the octagon

From trigonometric ratios, the length of the base of the isosceles triangle is therefore;

2 × r × cos(θ_i/2) = 2×10 × cos(67.5°) = 7.65 cm

The length of the base of the isosceles triangle = 7.65 cm = The length of one side of the octagon.

I need help on question 3!! geometry unit 5
Oduvanchick [21]

ANSWER:

angle 1 = 180°-35°-36° (angle sum of triangle)

= 109°

angle 3 = 180°-109°(adj angles on a str line)

= 71°

angle 2 = 180°-80°-71°

= 29°

Area of circle <br> sector and finding the percentage
mestny [16]

Answer:2592/25

Step-by-step explanation: Big circle is pi*r^2= (4+3+3)^2*pi =314.15 minus 4^2*pi=50.26 equals 263.89. the big circle minus the first 2 layers of the circle = the outer circle. 314.15-(4+3)^2*pi=160.21 263.89-160.21=2592/25

Convert the angle in degrees to radians. Express your answer as a multiple of π.
Elena L [17]
Converting 25 degrees to radians:

180° = π radians.

1° =  π/180  radians.

25° =  (π/180  radians) * 25

       =    (25/180) * π  radians.

Leaving the answer in terms of π,  25/180 = 5/36

=    (25/180) * π  radians = (5/36)π  radians  or ≈ 0.1389π radians.


Therefore 25° = (5/36)π  radians  or ≈ 0.1389π radians

I hope this explains it.

I think why you did not get it was because you did not leave your answer in terms of π or as a multiple of π, so as a multiple of π our answer is:

= (5/36)π  radians  or ≈ 0.1389π radians

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Ö + θ ( (k/m) + (g/l)) = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the FBD attached:

Apply Newtons 2 nd Law in tangential direction:

Sum ( Ft ) = m*a

Sum of all tangential forces is:

m*g*sin(θ) + k*l*sin(θ)*cos(θ) = - m*l*Ö

Using small angle approximations:

sin (θ) = θ

cos (θ) = 1

Ö = angular acceleration.

m*g*θ + k*l*θ = -m*l*Ö

Ö + θ ( (k/m) + (g/l)) = 0
