Answer:
Area of the other polygon = 4 in.²
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the bigger polygon : Area of the smaller polygon = square of the side length of the bigger polygon : square of the corresponding side length of the smaller polygon
Let "x" represent the area of the smaller polygon
Thus, we have:
100/x = 20²/4²
100/x = 400/16
100/x = 25
Cross multiply
25x = 100
Divide both sides by 25
25x/25 = 100/25
x = 4
Area of the other polygon = 4 in.²
Answer: 13.18
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
See proof below
Step-by-step explanation:
We will use properties of inequalities during the proof.
Let
. then we have that
. Hence, it makes sense to define the positive number delta as
(the inequality guarantees that these numbers are positive).
Intuitively, delta is the shortest distance from y to the endpoints of the interval. Now, we claim that
, and if we prove this, we are done. To prove it, let
, then
. First,
then
hence
On the other hand,
then
hence
. Combining the inequalities, we have that
, therefore
as required.
