Answer:

y = 6.5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L be the length of sides of the square.

Given the following data;

Perimeter of square = 8y - 12

Area of square = 100 square units

To find the value of y;

Area of a square = L²

Substituting into the formula, we have;

100 = L²

L = √100

L = 10 units

Mathematically, the perimeter of a square is given by the formula;

Perimeter of a square = 4L

Substituting into the formula, we have;

8y - 12 = 4*10

8y - 12 = 40

8y = 40 + 12

8y = 52

y = 52/8

y = 6.5 units

Answer:

y=6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter is 8y-12

Side=(Perimeter)/4=(8y-12)/4=2y-3

Area=(Side)^2

100=(2y-3)^2

2y-3=10

y=6.5

If a polygon has 36 angles, what is it called?
DanielleElmas [232]
<h2>Answer: 36-gon (also called triacontakaihexagon) </h2>

Let's start by explaining that a polygon is a closed geometrical figure composed from three or more lines. These lines (sequence of straight segments) are the sides of the polygon, and the points where they intersect are called vertices that form their angles.

It should be noted that its name comes from the Greek word <em>polygōnon</em> (many angles), since the angles (although the sides are used, as well) are those that will define the name the polygon will have.

In this sense, for a polygon that has 36 angles, its name is 36-gon, and formally named as triacontakaihexagon or triacontahexagon (sometimes the Greek word <em>kai</em> that serves as connector, is omitted).

Is sec (−θ) equal to sec θ or - sec θ? How do you know?
Lorico [155]

Answer:

sec(- θ ) = secθ

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between sec and cos is

sec x = \frac{1}{cosx}

Now cos(- x) = cosx

Thus

sec(- θ ) = secθ
