Answer:
The answer is, " About 56% of those who prefer baseball are eight graders"
Step by Step Explanation:
Step 1: Turn 56% to a decimal, you get 0.56
Step 2: Multiply 0.56 by 68, the total amount of people who like baseball
Step 3 : you get 38.08 ( Don't mind the extra .08, just round )
Step 4 : You celebrate with a little victory dance!!!!!
Answer:
162.4 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
LETS GET INTOOOOEEETTT
Let's start with what we know:
Area of regular octagon = 1/2 x perimeter x apothem
We know the apothem, so all that we need to find to fill in the above equation is the perimeter:
perimeter = 8 x 5.8 = 46.4in
Now we can fill in our original equation and solve:
Area of regular octagon = 1/2 x perimeter x apothem
Formula = n (s/2)² divided by tan( π /n)
= 8 (5.8/2)² divided by tan ( π /8)
= 162.4283 in²
ORRR when rounded to the nearest tenth,
=162.4 in²
In this problem, you apply principles in trigonometry. Since it is not mentioned, you will not assume that the triangle is a special triangle such as the right triangle. Hence, you cannot use Pythagorean formulas. The only equations you can use is the Law of Sines and Law of Cosines.
For finding side a, you can answer this easily by the Law of Cosines. The equation is
a2=b2 +c2 -2bccosA
a2 = 11^2 + 8^2 -2(11)(8)(cos54)
a2 = 81.55
a = √81.55
a = 9
Then, we use the Law of Sines to find angles B and C. The formula would be
a/sinA = b/sinB = c/sinC
9/sin54° = 11/sinB
B = 80.4°
9/sin54° = 8/sinC
C = 45.6°
The answer would be: a ≈ 9, C ≈ 45.6, B ≈ 80.4
