Answer:
The answer to each question is:
- A.) 403.2
- B.) 100. 8
Step-by-step explanation:
A.) To obtain the area of the dodecagon, you can use the next formula:
- Area of a dodecagon = 6 * apothem * edge
In the exercise, we have the edge (6 cm), but, to find the apothem of a dodecagon, that is the distance between the center of the polygon, and the middle point of each side, you can use the next formula:
- Apothem = Edge *
If we replace the value of the edge, we obtain:
- Apothem = 6 cm *
- Apothem = 11.2 cm (approximately).
With this data, we can find the area:
- Area of a dodecagon = 6 * apothem * edge
- Area of a dodecagon = 6 * 11.2 cm * 6 cm
- Area of a dodecagon = 403.2
Then,<u> the area of the dodecagon is 403.2 </u><u> approximately</u>.
B.) As the area obtained is for 12 pieces, when the parents ate 9 pieces, just left 3 pieces, with these values you can make a rule of three.
If:
- 12 pieces = 403.2
- 3 pieces = X
Then:
- X = (3 * 403.2
) / 12
- X = 1209.6
- X = 100. 8
In this form, <u>when the cookie has 3 pieces, its area is 100. 8 </u><u> approximately</u>.
Answer:
x-int = 18
y-int = -9/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Use slope-intercept form y=mx + b
To find the slope, substitute the two points into the slope formula and solve.
Substitute a random point (2,-4) and m=1/4 into slope-intercept form
y = mx+b
-4 = 1/4 (2) + b
-4 = 2/4 + b
-4 = 1/2 + b
Isolate b to solve
b = -4 - 1/2
b = -8/2 - 1/2
b = -9/2 <= this is the y-intercept
b is the y-intercept in slope-intercept form
Substitute b= -9/2 and m=1/4 to get the equation of the line.
y = 1/4 x - 9/2
Substitute y for 0 to find the x intercept
y = 1/4 x - 9/2
0 = 1/4 x - 9/2
9/2 = 1/4 x
x = (9/2) / (1/4)
x = (9/2) X (4/1)
x = 36/2
x = 18
