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.

If you are working with less than, or greater than. If there is a negative do you switch the sign? For example 9t-4>32
kirill [66]

Answer:

Rule:  If working with an inequality and you either mult. or div. by a negative number, you must reverse the direction of the inequality symbol.

Step-by-step explanation:

Your job here is to simplify 9t-4>32, in which the variable (t) is already positive.  Here you do NOT switch signs or reverse the direction of the inequality symbol.  Adding 4 to both sides, we get 9t > 36, or t > 4.

If, however, you had  -9t-4>32 to work with, the situation would be different because t in this inequality is negative.  Adding 4 to both sides results in:

-9t > 36.  To solve for t, we must divide both sides by -9 AND reverse the direction of the inequality symbol:

t < -4.

Rule:  If working with an inequality and you either mult. or div. by a negative number, you must reverse the direction of the inequality symbol.

Eastville has a population of 32,000 and is gaining 500 people per year. Lakeside has a population of 45,000 and is losing 1,000
Semenov [28]

Answer:

  in about 8 2/3 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The population difference of 13000 people is being erased at the rate of 1500 people per year. It will be gone in ...

  13000/1500 = 26/3 = 8 2/3 . . . . years

The population of Lakeside will be 45000 -8667 = 36333 at that time. Eastside's population will be the same.

Eastville and Lakeside will both have populations of 36,333 in 8 2/3 years.

True or False. To select 3 items out of 4 distinct objects, use C(4,3).
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

C(4, 3) means the number of combinations from 4 items taking 3 at a time.  We are selecting 3 distinct items and it doesn't say anything about the order in which they are selected , so we use  a combination formula  not a permutation ( where order does matter).

C(4, 3)  = 4! / 3! 1!

= 4*3*2*1 / 3*2*1*1

= 4.

There are 4 ways to select 3 items from 4.

-y= 4x + 1
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

I believe the answer would be C.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because after plugging in the numbers (2 in replace of x) (-9 in replace of y) for the problem -2y- 6x =6... the statement was determined true.... so, therefore, I believe the correct answer is C
