Question

  1. evaluate the expression for the area of a regular polygon ( a = \frac{1}{2}ap ) for ( a = 2sqrt{3} ) and ( p = 60 ).
  2. solve the equation for the area of a circle for the variable ( r ).
  3. solve the proportion diagram ( \frac{3x}{5} = \frac{7}{14} ) (approximate ocr of the proportion).
  4. a ladder makes a ( 50^circ ) angle with the ground and reaches 20 feet up the side of a building. find to the nearest tenth how far the base of the ladder is away from the base of the building.

Explanation:

Response
Question 10

Step1: Substitute the values of \(a\) and \(p\) into the formula.

The formula for the area of a regular polygon is \(A=\frac{1}{2}ap\). We are given \(a = 2\sqrt{3}\) and \(p=60\). Substitute these values into the formula: \(A=\frac{1}{2}\times(2\sqrt{3})\times60\)

Step2: Simplify the expression.

First, \(\frac{1}{2}\times2 = 1\), so the expression becomes \(1\times\sqrt{3}\times60=60\sqrt{3}\). If we calculate the numerical value, \(60\sqrt{3}\approx60\times1.732 = 103.92\)

Step1: Recall the formula for the area of a circle.

The formula for the area of a circle is \(A=\pi r^{2}\), where \(A\) is the area and \(r\) is the radius.

Step2: Solve for \(r\).

First, divide both sides of the equation by \(\pi\): \(\frac{A}{\pi}=r^{2}\). Then, take the square root of both sides. Since the radius \(r>0\) (length cannot be negative), we have \(r = \sqrt{\frac{A}{\pi}}\) (or \(r=\frac{\sqrt{A\pi}}{\pi}\) after rationalizing the denominator)

Step1: Cross - multiply.

For a proportion \(\frac{a}{b}=\frac{c}{d}\), we have \(a\times d=b\times c\). So for \(\frac{3x}{5}=\frac{7}{14}\), cross - multiplying gives \(3x\times14 = 5\times7\)

Step2: Simplify and solve for \(x\).

Simplify the right - hand side: \(5\times7 = 35\). The left - hand side: \(3x\times14=42x\). So we have the equation \(42x = 35\). Divide both sides by 42: \(x=\frac{35}{42}=\frac{5}{6}\)
(If the proportion is \(\frac{3x}{5}=\frac{7}{14}\) as assumed)

Answer:

\(60\sqrt{3}\) (or approximately \(103.9\) if a decimal approximation is needed)
