<h2>Answer:</h2>

A Polygon is shape with straight sides and must be closed. Polygon sides never touch and are classified according to the number of its sides. So:

A Triangle is any polygon with exactly 3 sides
A Quadrilateral is any polygon with exactly 4 sides.
A Pentagon is any polygon with exactly 5 sides.
An Hexagon is any polygon with exactly 6 sides.
A Heptagon is any polygon with exactly 7 sides.
An Octagon is any polygon with exactly 8 sides.
A Nonagon is any polygon with exactly 9 sides.
Decagon is any polygon with exactly 10 sides.

<h3>1. WITH THE COORDINATE PLANE:</h3>

If you have the coordinate plane, there are several ways to calculate the perimeter and area. If the polygon meaning that every side must have the same length and every angle must have the same measure, you just need the coordinates of two points and by using the distance formula you can calculate the length of that side. Then you must multiply the number of sides by that distance and this is the perimeter, but if the polygon is irregular you must calculate the length of each side of the polygon using the distance formula and then make the sum. To compute the area, you must divide the entire polygon in triangles, rectangles, parallelograms, etc, and then calculating the area of each figure using the formulas known for each type of figure.

<h3>2. WITHOUT THE COORDINATE PLANE:</h3>

If you don't have the coordinate plane, you need to have the length of each side to calculate the perimeter or each side should be calculated by using trigonometry and other mathematical skills. If the polygon is regular or is a known figure (trapezoid, parallelogram, triangle) you can use the formulas you know to compute the area of that figure. On the other hand, if the polygon is irregular you should divide the polygon in other simple figures and calculate each area and then making the sum.

<em>In conclusion,</em><em> for both ways you need to have the length of each side to find the perimeter and can use well known formulas to find the area of the figure.</em>

2. Find the measure of the central angle.*

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer: The central angle is 59 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sector or Arc Length is 59 degrees and the central angle is also 59 degrees, because the central angle equals the same measurement as the sector.

Show work to triangles 2 and 3 explaining why they are right triangles

olganol [36]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for a triangle to be a right triangle, it has to fit into Pythagorean's Theorem:

$a^2+b^2=c^2$ where c is the hypotenuse.

We need to figure out which is the longest side in each of those triangles and that is the hypotenuse.

In the first set, the sqrt of 443 is 21.04, but that is not the longest side; 24 is. So the Theorem formula for that is:

$\sqrt{443}^2+17^2=24^2$ which gives us

443 + 289 = 576, but 732 does not equal 576, so that one is not right.

In the second set, the sqrt of 725 is the longest side, so that formula is:

$\sqrt{725}^2=14^2+23^2$ which gives us

725 = 196 + 529, and 725 does equal 725, so that one is right.

In the third set, the sqrt of 890 is the longest side, so:

$\sqrt{890}^2=19^2+23^2$ , which gives us

890 = 361 + 529, and 890 = 890, so that is a right triangle as well. That's how you know those are right, compared to the first one that is not.

A=4pi r^{2} solve for r

lara [203]

A = 4πr² Divide both sides by 4π
A / 4π = r² Find the square root of both sides
√(A / 4π) = √(r²) Cancel out the square with the square root
√(A / 4π) = r Switch the sides to make it easier to read
r = √(A / 4π)
