Given:
Octagon-shaped patio
Side length = 24ft
apothem length = 60ft
Area of a regular octagon = 2 * a² * (1 + √2)
a = side length
A = 2 * (24ft)² * (1 + √2)
A = 2 * 576ft² * (1 + 1.414)
A = 2 * 576ft² * 2.414
A = 2,780.93 ft²
If Point C and D are equidistant from point A, it means that AC and AD are of the same length. AC = AD
AC = AD (S) (<span>Points C and D are equidistant from point A)
</span>AE = AE (S) (The two triangle shared the same side)
∠CAE = ∠EAD (A) (This angle is between the two sides that we just proved to be equal)
By SAS,
ΔEAD ≡ ΔEAC
Answer is a= 51/7 or 7 2/7
Step by step
-2/3 (a + 3) = 5/3a - 19
Distribute to resolve parentheses
-2/3a -2 = 5/3a - 19
Now to move variables to one side
Add 2/3a to both sides
-2/3a + 2/3a -2 = 5/3a + 2/3a -19
Combine like terms
-2 = 7/3a -19
Add 19 to both sides to isolate variable
-2 +19 = 7/3a -19 + 19
17 = 7/3a
Divide both sides by 7/3 to solve for a
(Remember when you divide a fraction, flip it and multiply.)
17 * 3/7 = a
51/7 = a
