Answer:

The \ total \ number \ of \ distinct \ diagonals \ in \ a \ polygon \ with \ n \ sides= \dfrac{n \times (n - 3)}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

A diagonal is defined in geometry as a line connecting to two non adjacent  vertices.

Therefore, the minimum number of sides a polygon must have in order to have a diagonal n - 3 sides as the 3 comes from the originating vertex and the other two adjacent vertices

Given that the polygon has n sides, the number of diagonals that can be drawn from each of those n sides gives the total number of diagonals as follows;

Total possible diagonals = n × (n - 3)

However, half of the diagonals drawn within the polygon are the same diagonals drawn in reverse. Therefore, the total number of distinct diagonals that can be drawn in a polygon is given as follows;

The \ total \ number \ of \ distinct \ diagonals \ in \ a \ polygon \ with \ n \ sides= \dfrac{n \times (n - 3)}{2}

Determine the equation of the circle with centre (-3;5) and passing through a point (2;-9)
UNO [17]

Therefore, the equation of circle is: (x+3)^{2}+(y+5)^{2} = 100

<h3><u>What is a circle?</u></h3>
  • All points in a plane that are at a specific distance from a specific point, the center, form a circle. In other words, it is the curve that a moving point in a plane draws to keep its distance from a specific point constant.
  • The radius of a circle is the separation between any point on the circle and its center.
  • The radius must typically be a positive integer. Except when otherwise specified, this article discusses circles in Euclidean geometry, namely the Euclidean plane.
  • A circle, specifically, is a straightforward closed curve that separates the plane into its inner and exterior.

Here we know that(h,k) = (-3,5)but we are not given the radius.

However, we can find the radius by using the distance formula.

\sqrt{x^{2} +y^{2} }, where x=x_{1} -x_{2} and y=y_{1} -y_{2}

Putting the values, we get:

\sqrt{8^{2} +6^{2} }

The radius comes out to be:

r=10

An equation of the circle with center (h,k) and radius r is

(x-h)^{2} +(y-k)^{2} = r^{2}

Now, substituting the values, we get:

(x--3)^{2} +(y-5)^{2} = 10^{2}

Therefore, the equation of circle is:

(x+3)^{2}+(y+5)^{2} = 100

X and Y are in partnership with capital contributions of $50000 and $30000 respectively.
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. $13,875.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since X and Y are in partnership with capital contributions of $ 50000 and $ 30000 respectively, and the partnership agreement provides that profits are to be shared in proportion to capital contributions and each partner is entitled to 10% interest on capital, and profit for the year was $ 37000, to determine what was the total amount credited to Y’s current account at the end of the year the following calculation must be performed:

50,000 + 30,000 = 80,000

80,000 = 100

30,000 = X

30,000 x 100 / 80,000 = X

37.5 = X

37,000 x 0.375 = X

13.875 = X
