9514 1404 393

Explanation:

The figure shows a regular pentagon with the radius and the length of one side given. The Pythagorean theorem to find the missing side of the right triangle whose given sides are the pentagon radius and half the side length. That missing side is the apothem of the pentagon. As with any regular polygon, the area of this pentagon will be half the product of the perimeter and the apothem. The perimeter of a pentagon is 5 times the side length. All dimensions are in feet, so the area will be in square feet.

<em>Additional comment</em>

The working out was not requested, but here it is, anyway.

  a = √(40.8² -(48/2)²) = √1088.64 ≈ 32.99 . . . feet

  P = 5(48 ft) = 240 ft

  A = (1/2)Pa = (1/2)(240 ft)(32.99 ft) = 3959.3 ft²

Note that the radius has been rounded down to the nearest tenth. If the full-accuracy value were used, the area would be found to be 3963.98 ft².

Which is the most accurate method of showing the entire surface of earth
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

A globe

Explanation:

When we use a globe we can very accurately represent the Earth, its curvature, and with a good scale and coordinate system for the geography. This can be done on a map to an extent but in order for us to put a spherical body on a flat surface, we need to make some changes. This is why on maps you see some parts of continents as larger than they really are.

Akimi4 [234]

The correct answer is 4) They have ring systems.

Explanation:

Jovial planets are also known as Giant planets, they include Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, these planets are classified as Giant planets because they are massive although they are composed mainly of gas and light materials. Additionally, most of this planets have one or more moons and all of them have ring systems which are rings made of particles, dust, debris, ice and other materials that are placed around the planet and orbit it, although only the ring system of Saturn is visible and because of this it is the best known. Thus, the statement that describes Jovian planets is "They have ring systems".
