Help? im confused plss! Find the area of the regular polygon with the given radius or apothem

Answer:

  50 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the regular polygon is a square, there are multiple ways you can jump directly to the answer. Perhaps the simplest is to use the formula for the area of a rhombus:

  A = 1/2(d1)(d2)

where d1 and d2 are the lengths of the diagonals. Here, we see that half the diagonal is 5 cm, so the area is ...

  A = (1/2)(10 cm)(10 cm) = 50 cm² . . . . area of the polygon

__

<em>Alternate solution</em>

If you want to use the radius and the number of sides in a formula, you can consider the area of each triangle formed by radii and a side. That triangle has area ...

  A = 1/2r²sin(α)

where r is the radius and α is the central angle. For an n-sided polygon, the area is the sum of n of these triangles, and the central angle is 360°/n. Then the polygon area is ...

  A = n/2·r²·sin(360°/n)

For n = 4 and r = 5 cm, the area is ...

  A = (4/2)(5 cm)²(sin(360°/4)) = 2(5 cm)²(1) = 50 cm² . . . . area of square

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The formula is somewhat different if you start with the length of the apothem. One way to find the area is using the above formula and the relation between the radius and apothem:

  r = a·sec(180°/n)

Another formula uses the apothem directly:

  A = n·a²·tan(180°/n)

A rectangle is divided into exactly 20 congruent squares. Then these squares are lined up in a single row extending 36 inches (3
arlik [135]

The area of the rectangle is 64.8 square .inch

<h3>What is a Rectangle ?</h3>

A rectangle is a polygon with four sides , opposite sides are parallel and equal.

It is given that

A rectangle is divided into exactly 20 congruent squares

If they are lined up the Length is 36 inches

Therefore the length of each square or the side of the square = 36/20

= 1.8 inch

The area of the rectangle will be

20* Side of square * Side of square

=20*1.8*1.8

= 64.8 square inch

The area of the rectangle is 64.8 square .inch

Answer:

The correct answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 8 slots on Spinner B.

3 of those slots have squares.

Hence out of all the slots, 3/8 of them have squares.

Hope this helps:) Goodluck!
