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)

The line segment formed by joining points A (-1,y) B (0,0), and the line segment joined by forming points C (6,3) D (8,9) share
Airida [17]

Answer:

<h3>-3</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

For two parallel lines. their slope are equal

Find the slope of each of the lines

For line A;

m = 0 -y/0+1

mA = -y/1

For line B;

mB = 9 - 3/8 - 6

mB = 6/2

mB = 3

since their slope are equal hence mA = mB

-y/1 = 3

-y = 3

y = -3

Hence the value of y is -3
