A regular octagon with side length a cm can be made by cutting off

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ksivusya [100]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

one side = \frac{a\sqrt{2}}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

if you draw an octagon on a piece of paper, you can draw a square around it, you should be able to see a diagram of this attached, ignore the 6.

Let's say TP = a

since it's a regular octagon, TP = HT

and using the Pythagoras Theorem,  we know a² + b² = c² and thus:

√(AT² + HA²) = HT

and since AT = HA which we will call x, the equation becomes:

√(2x²) = HT = a

rearrange the equation to solve for x and you get:

2x² = a²

x² = \frac{a^{2} }{2}

x = \frac{a}{\sqrt{2}}

which, if you rationalise the denominator, you get:

x = \frac{a\sqrt{2}}{2}

Oksana_A [137]

Answer: 0.05 cup

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 2.5 by 10 to find how much is in one of Sarah’s dishes.

This gives you 0.25

Divide 1.6 by 8 to find how much is in one of Amy's dishes.

This gives you 0.2

Now minus 0.2 from 0.25.

This gives you a 0.05 cup

hope this helps

Erica says that 1/5 of the national flag of Thailand shown on the right is blue. what’s wrong?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

The blue portion of the flag is actually 2/6 or 1/3 of the flag

Step-by-step explanation:

If you look at the size of the blue portion of the line it takes up twice the space as the white part. Imagine a small line drawn through the middle of the blue rectangle, now you can see that the flag is split up into 6 parts, rather then 5! Since we now have 2/6 of the flag being taken up by blue, that can be reduced down to 1/3 of the flag covered in blue.
