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

Mathematics

DENIUS [597]3 years ago
4 0

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.

Alecsey [184]

Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the least possible product, you want both the 2-digit number and the 1-digit number to be as small as possible

The smallest 2-digit number is 10

The smallest nonzero 1-digit number is 1

so the smallest product is 10 * 1 = 10

If a number is multiplied by 7 and this product is increased by 7 the result is 1 less than 9 times the number. What is the numb
Damm [24]
A) x * 7 = y

B) y + 7 +1 = 9x

A) x  = y / 7
Substituting this into B)

B) y + 8 = 9(y/7)

Multiplying both sides by 7

B) 7y + 56 = 9y

2 y = 56

y = 28
x = 4

***************************************************
Double Check
4 * 7 = 28 + 7 = 35
9*x = 36
