similarities between finding the perimeter and area of a polygon with and without the coordinate plane

<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>

Which is a factor of x2 + 8x – 48? (x – 6) (x + 4) (x – 16) (x + 12)
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

(x+12)

Step-by-step explanation:

The middle number is 8 and the last number is -48.

Factoring means we want something like

(x+_)(x+_)

Which numbers go in the blanks?

We need two numbers that...

Add together to get 8

Multiply together to get -48

Can you think of the two numbers?

Try -4 and 12:

-4+12 = 8

-4*12 = -48

Fill in the blanks in

(x+_)(x+_)

with -4 and 12 to get...

(x-4)(x+12)

But, since (x-4) isn't an option, the answer would be (x+12)

The diagonals of a rectangle have length 12 and intersect in a 40 degree angle. Find the length and width rounded to the nearest
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Length is 7.7 and width is 9.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The length and width of the rectangle will be the y and x coordinate of the diagonal line at angle of 40 degrees

Length L = dsin theta

Width W = d coos theta

d is the length of the diagonal

Given

d  = 12

theta = 40°

Substitute

Length = 12sin40°

Length = 12(0.6428)

Length = 7.7135

Length ≈ 7.7

Width = 12cos 40

Width = 12(0.7660)

Width = 9.192

Width = 9.2

Hence the length is 7.7 and width is 9.2

Which of the following equations represents the line graphed below?
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

y= -2x +3

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the slope is 2 using rise over run and the y-intercept is 3 because it meets at that point, (0,3) on the number line.
