Answer:

162.4 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

LETS GET INTOOOOEEETTT

Let's start with what we know:

Area of regular octagon = 1/2 x perimeter x apothem

We know the apothem, so all that we need to find to fill in the above equation is the perimeter:

perimeter = 8 x 5.8 = 46.4in

Now we can fill in our original equation and solve:

Area of regular octagon = 1/2 x perimeter x apothem

Formula = n (s/2)² divided by tan( π /n)

= 8 (5.8/2)² divided by tan ( π /8)

= 162.4283 in²

ORRR when rounded to the nearest tenth,

=162.4 in²

Find the measure of an angle who's measure is 20 less than the measure of its supplement.

Dvinal [7]

supplementary angles add up to 180°.

x = measure of such angle

x + 20 = measure of her sibling.

since "x" has 20 less than her sibling, then clearly her sibling has to have 20 more than "x".

$\bf (x)+\stackrel{sibling}{(x+20)}=180\implies 2x+20=180\implies 2x=160 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{160}{2}\implies x=80$

Answer: a. statistic

Step-by-step explanation:

Population : It is a set of all possible observations that can be made regarding a study by the researcher.
Sample : It is finite subset of population that represents the population in the researcher's analysis.
Population parameter : It is a value that is calculated from the entire population such as population mean , population proportion etc.
Statistics : It is a value that is calculated from the sample taken out from population.

Since ,The group of people who took poll are representing the sample.

Therefore, 92% of those polled said that a year from now their family financial situation will be as good as it is today or better that means 92% describes a statistics.

Thus , the correct answer is a. statistic
