Find the area of a regular octagon with an apothem length of 10 and a side length of 6.

Mathematics

Answer:

A = 240 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

the area (A) of a regular polygon is

A = \frac{1}{2} pa ( p is the perimeter and a the apothem )

here p = 8 × 6 = 48 ( an octagon has 8 sides ) and a = 10 , then

A = \frac{1}{2} × 48 × 10 = 24 × 10 = 240 units²

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Preliminary task

Draw a regular octagon.

Draw a perpendicular from the side's midpoint to the center. (That is the  apothem).

Draw two radii from the center of the side to the center of of the octagon. The endpoints of these two radii is the endpoints of the octagon's side.

The octagon has 8 such triangles.

Area one triangle

Area = 1/2 * side *  apothem

side = 6

apothem = 10

Area = 1/2 6 * 10

Area = 30

Area of 8 such triangles.

Area = 8 * area of 1 triangle

area 1 triangle = 30

Area of 8 such triangles = 30*8 = 240

Answer 240

Q.6. The equation of the ellipse whose centre is at the origin and the x-axis, the major axis, which passes
azamat

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Equation of the ellipse = 3x² + 5y² = 32

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

<h2>Given:</h2>

  • The centre of the ellipse is at the origin and the X axis is the major axis

  • It passes through the points (-3, 1) and (2, -2)

<h2>To Find:</h2>

  • The equation of the ellipse

<h2>Solution:</h2>

The equation of an ellipse is given by,

\sf \dfrac{x^2}{a^2} +\dfrac{y^2}{b^2} =1

Given that the ellipse passes through the point (-3, 1)

Hence,

\sf \dfrac{(-3)^2}{a^2} +\dfrac{1^2}{b^2} =1

Cross multiplying we get,

  • 9b² + a² = 1 ²× a²b²
  • a²b² = 9b² + a²

Multiply by 4 on both sides,

  • 4a²b² = 36b² + 4a²------(1)

Also by given the ellipse passes through the point (2, -2)

Substituting this,

\sf \dfrac{2^2}{a^2} +\dfrac{(-2)^2}{b^2} =1

Cross multiply,

  • 4b² + 4a² = 1 × a²b²
  • a²b² = 4b² + 4a²-------(2)

Subtracting equations 2 and 1,

  • 3a²b² = 32b²
  • 3a² = 32
  • a² = 32/3----(3)

Substituting in 2,

  • 32/3 × b² = 4b² + 4 × 32/3
  • 32/3 b² = 4b² + 128/3
  • 32/3 b² = (12b² + 128)/3
  • 32b² = 12b² + 128
  • 20b² = 128
  • b² = 128/20 = 32/5

Substituting the values in the equation for ellipse,

\sf \dfrac{x^2}{32/3} +\dfrac{y^2}{32/5} =1

\sf \dfrac{3x^2}{32} +\dfrac{5y^2}{32} =1

Multiplying whole equation by 32 we get,

3x² + 5y² = 32

<h3>Hence equation of the ellipse is 3x² + 5y² = 32</h3>
