Answer:

  • square: 12 ft sides
  • octagon: 6 ft sides

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be worked in your head.

If the perimeters of the square and regular octagon are the same, the side length of the 4-sided square must be the same as the length of 2 sides of the 8-sided octagon. Since the side of the square is 6 ft more than the side of the octagon, each side of the octagon must be 6 ft, and each side of the square must be 12 ft.

__

We can let s represent the side length of the octagon. Then we have ...

  8s = perimeter of octagon

  4(s +6) = perimeter of square

These are equal, so ...

  4(s +6) = 8s

  s +6 = 2s . . . . . . divide by 4

  6 = s . . . . . . . . . . subtract s

The octagon has 6-ft sides; the square has 12-ft sides.

Answer:

<h3>          The second:   f(-5) = 2</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

x = -5

-5 < -4  and if x<-4 then  f(x) = - 2x - 8

so:

    f(-5) = - 2(-5) - 8 = 10 - 8 = 2

Look at the relation below.
Mariana [72]

Answer:

If we remove one ordered pair (1, -2) then the set of points would represent a function.

Hence, option C i.e. (1, -2) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a function is a relation where each input or x-value of the X set has a unique y-value or output of the Y set.

In other words, we can not have duplicated inputs as there should be only 1 output for each input.

Given the relation

{(-2,4), (4,-2), (1,1), (1,-2), (0,1), (6,4)}

If we closely check, we can observe that the input x = 1 is repeated twice.

In other words, there are two ordered pairs (1, 1) and (1, -2) with the same input x = 1. So, x = 1 is duplicated here.

We know that we can not have duplicated inputs as there should be only 1 output for each input.

Therefore, if we remove one ordered pair (1, -2) then the set of points would represent a function.

Hence, option C i.e. (1, -2) is correct.
