What is the smallest and largest perimeter of a polygon with an area of 20?

Mathematics
1 answer:
DENIUS [597]2 years ago

Answer:

The polygon with the smallest perimeter is the megagon

The polygon with the largest perimeter is the triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

An equilateral triangle with area = 20 has

0.5× a²×sin60 = 20

a= 6.796

Hence, perimeter = 20.39

A square of area 20 has perimeter= 4×√20 = 17.9

A regular pentagon of area = 20 has perimeter = 3.41 × 5 = 17.05

Hence as the number of sides is increasing, the ratio of the Area to the Perimeter also increases

Therefore, a triangle has the largest perimeter with an area of 20 while a megagon with a million sides has the smallest perimeter with an area of 20.

Answer:

Denote the equation : y = ax + b

Use the first 2 values of x and y in table:

3a + b = 21

5a + b = 35

Subtract the 2 equations:

=> 2a = 14 => a = 7 => b = 21 - 3 x 7 = 0

=> The solution is  y = 7x

9.

Denote the equation : y = ax + b

Use the first 2 values of x and y in table:

5a + b = 17

10a + b = 22

Subtract the 2 equations:

=> 5a = 5 => a = 1 => b = 17 - 5 x 1 = 17 - 5 = 12

=> The solution is  y = x + 12

Hope this helps!

2 ft
sdas [7]

Answer:

88/7 ft = 12.6 ft (nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference of a circle = 2\pir

<u>Radius of inner circle</u>

Given:

  • circumference of inner circle = 22ft
  • \pi = 22/7

⇒ 22 = 2 x (22/7) x r

⇒ r = 3.5

So the radius of the inner circle is 3.5 ft

<u>Radius of outer circle</u>

If the distance between the inner circle and the outer circle is 2 ft, then the radius of the outer circle = 3.5 + 2 = 5.5

<u>Circumference of outer circle</u>

Therefore, circumference of outer circle:

=  2 x (22/7) x 5.5

= 242/7 ft

<u>Difference between circumferences</u>

Difference = outer circle circumference - inner circle circumference

                  = 242/7 - 22

                  = 88/7 ft

                  = 12.6 ft (nearest tenth)

Solve for x. 3x - 1 = 27 x = 10 x = 28/3 x = 26/3
frutty [35]

Answer:

x = 28/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 1 = 27

Add 1 to each side

3x - 1+1 = 27+1

3x = 28

Divide by 3

3x/3 = 28/3

x = 28/3
