A garden is shaped in the form of a regular heptagon (seven-sided), MNSRQPO. A circle with center T and radius 25m circumscribes

the heptagon as shown in the diagram. The area of ΔMSQ is left for a children's playground, and the rest of the garden is planted with flowers. Find the area of the garden planted with flowers.

The relationship between the sides MN, MS, and MQ in the given regular heptagon is \dfrac{1}{MN} = \dfrac{1}{MS} + \dfrac{1}{MQ}

The area to be planted with flowers is approximately <u>923.558 m²</u>

The reason the above value is correct is as follows;

The known parameters of the garden are;

The radius of the circle that circumscribes the heptagon, r = 25 m

The area left for the children playground = ΔMSQ

Required;

The area of the garden planted with flowers

Solution:

The area of an heptagon, is;

A = \dfrac{7}{4} \cdot a^2 \cdot  cot \left (\dfrac{180 ^{\circ}}{7} \right )

The interior angle of an heptagon = 128.571°

The length of a side, S, is given as follows;

\dfrac{s}{sin(180 - 128.571)} = \dfrac{25}{sin \left(\dfrac{128.571}{2} \right)}

s = \dfrac{25}{sin \left(\dfrac{128.571}{2} \right)} \times sin(180 - 128.571) \approx 21.69

The \ apothem \ a = 25 \times sin \left ( \dfrac{128.571}{2} \right) \approx 22.52

The area of the heptagon MNSRQPO is therefore;

A = \dfrac{7}{4} \times 22.52^2 \times cot \left (\dfrac{180 ^{\circ}}{7} \right ) \approx 1,842.94

MS = \sqrt{(21.69^2 + 21.69^2 - 2 \times  21.69 \times21.69\times cos(128.571^{\circ})) \approx 43.08

By sine rule, we have

\dfrac{21.69}{sin(\angle NSM)} = \dfrac{43.08}{sin(128.571 ^{\circ})}

sin(\angle NSM) =\dfrac{21.69}{43.08} \times sin(128.571 ^{\circ})

\angle NSM = arcsin \left(\dfrac{21.69}{43.08} \times sin(128.571 ^{\circ}) \right) \approx 23.18^{\circ}

∠MSQ = 128.571 - 2*23.18 = 82.211

The area of triangle, MSQ, is given as follows;

Area \ of \Delta MSQ = \dfrac{1}{2}  \times  43.08^2 \times sin(82.211^{\circ}) \approx 919.382^{\circ}

The area of the of the garden plated with flowers, A_{req}, is given as follows;

A_{req} = Area of heptagon MNSRQPO - Area of triangle ΔMSQ

Therefore;

A_{req}= 1,842.94 - 919.382 ≈ 923.558

The area of the of the garden plated with flowers, A_{req} ≈ <u>923.558 m²</u>

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

They had 1,352 marbles all together, rounded to the nearest hundred, 1,400.

Step-by-step explanation:

All we have to do is add the number of marbles they collected.

510 + 842 = 1,352

1,352 rounded to the nearest hundred is 1,400.
