A regular polygon<span> is equilateral (it has equal sides) and equiangular (it has equal angles). To find the </span>area<span> of a regular </span>polygon<span>, you use an apothem — a segment that joins the </span>polygon's<span> center to the midpoint of any side and that is perpendicular to that side (segment HM in the following figure is an apothem).</span>
Answer:
5 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
We khow that the altitude of this triangle is 1cm shorter than the base
- Let H be our altitude and B our base and A the area of the triangle
- A= (B*H)/2 ⇒ 15=(B*H)/2
- H is 1cm shorter than B ⇒ B=H+1
- H*(H+1)/2=15 ⇒ H*(H+1)=30⇒ H²+H=30⇒H²+H-30+0
that's a quadratic equation . Let's calculate the dicriminant .
Let Δ be the dicriminant
- a=1
- b=1
- c= -30
- Δ=b²-4*a*c = 1²-4*1*(-30)=1+4*30=121≥0
- Δ≥0⇔ that we have two solutions x and y
- x= (-1-
)/2= (-1-11)/2= -6 - y= (-1+)/2= 10/2 = 5
We have a negative value and a positive one
The altitude is a distance so it can't be negative
H= 5cm
Answer:
a. $5.43
b. $141.25
c. $8.75
Step-by-step explanation:
First you find the total amount you it cost for all the items
$135.82 + 4% = $141.25
You give three $50 dollar bills
50 * 3 = 150
$150 is the amount you give
--------------------------------------
141.25 - 135.82 = 5.43
$5.43 is the amount of the sale price
---------------------------------------
To find the amount is cost for all the items you add the sales tax + the original price
$135.82 + 4% = $141.25
$141.25 is the amount including the tax
---------------------------------------
Subtract
150 - 141.25 = 8.75
So you will get $8.75 back
The value is 1, any number multiplied by 0 is 1
