Split this into 8 triangles. The angle at the top of each triangle is 360/8 and then you need to half this to make a right angle for the tangent calculation.

18. What is the area of this polygon?***need help understanding how to solve***

You can split this polygon onto three rectangles. (see picture below) You will have to use the information to work out the length and width of each part and then add up the areas.

ls_XF = 53 mm ls_XV = 72 mm ls_VR = 16 mm
ls_FB = 31 mm ls_BT = 31 mm ls_EU = 47 mm
ls_UL = 31 mm ls_TL = 88 mm ls_DE = 16 mm

Thank you for your reply Bob and yes, your assumption is correct, we are looking for the area here. I will begin with 5:
5. A regular heptagon with a side of 7 inches. ***need help understanding how to solve***
A 178.06 sq in
B 294.16 sq in
C 169.21 sq in
D 358.91 sq in
E 157.36 sq in
F 277.91 sq in
360/7 = 51.42 (central angle)
51.42/2 = 25.71 | 25.71tan = 0.48
51.42 x 0.48 = 24.6768 x 7 = 172.7712

I'm not understanding what went wrong here.

16. What is the area of a parallelogram with height 26 cm, base 16 cm, and side length 28 cm?
A 178.06 sq cm
B 122.5 sq cm
C 216 sq cm
D 416 cm^2
E 28.9 cm
F 510 cm^2

Makes sense! Answer is D - 416 cm^2

17. What is the area of a regular octagon with a side of 6 cm? ***need help understanding how to solve***
A 178.06 sq cm
B 122.5 sq cm
C 216 sq cm
D 23 cm^2
E 173.82 cm^2
F 510 cm^2

360/8 = 45
half it so 45/2 = 22.5
Am I right so far? If so, would the next step be 22.5tan?

18. What is the area of this polygon?***need help understanding how to solve***

You can split this polygon onto three rectangles. (see picture below) You will have to use the information to work out the length and width of each part and then add up the areas.

ls_XF = 53 mm ls_XV = 72 mm ls_VR = 16 mm

ls_RM = 70 mm ls_MC = 21 mm ls_DC = 70 mm

A 8014 mm2
B7030 mm2
C6027 mm2
D5478 mm2
E 1782 mm2
F 1225 mm2

Takes a little while but got the answer: A - 8014 mm2

19. What is the area of this rectangle?***need help understanding how to solve***

Use Pythagoras to work out the height of the rectangle.

A 17.06 sq units
B60 sq units
C21.6 sq units
D53 sq units
E 28.9 sq units
F 51 sq units

So this is the equation I started with: H^2 = 13^2 - 12^2
Am I starting right?

20. What is the area of this polygon?***need help understanding how to solve***

My picture below shows how you can split this shape into a rectangle and a triangle. You will also need to use Pythag. to get the length of the red line.

A 178 sq units

5. A regular heptagon with a side of 7 inches. ***need help understanding how to solve***
A 178.06 sq in
B 294.16 sq in
C 169.21 sq in
D 358.91 sq in
E 157.36 sq in
F 277.91 sq in
360/7 = 51.42 (central angle)
51.42/2 = 25.71 | 25.71tan = 0.48

When a triangle is split in half to get a right angle, the opposite is 7/2 = 3.5 and the height is the adjacent. So you want A = 3.5/tan(22.5)
51.42 x 0.48 = 24.6768 x 7 = 172.7712

I'm not understanding what went wrong here.

360/8 = 45
half it so 45/2 = 22.5
Am I right so far? If so, would the next step be 22.5tan?

22.5 is correct. But look at question 5. Again the height is the adjacent.

D5478 mm2
E 1782 mm2
F 1225 mm2

Takes a little while but got the answer: A - 8014 mm2

19. What is the area of this rectangle?***need help understanding how to solve***

Use Pythagoras to work out the height of the rectangle.

A 17.06 sq units
B60 sq units

E 28.9 sq units
F 51 sq units

So this is the equation I started with: H^2 = 13^2 - 12^2

5. A regular heptagon with a side of 7 inches.
A 178.06 sq in
B 294.16 sq in
C 169.21 sq in
D 358.91 sq in
E 157.36 sq in
F 277.91 sq in

I'm having a hard time understanding how to solve this and #17. Do you think you could create a similar math problem and then show me how to solve it step by step? For example maybe you can do the same as #5, except with a side of 5 instead of 7 inches.

17. What is the area of a regular octagon with a side of 6 cm?
A 178.06 sq cm
B 122.5 sq cm
C 216 sq cm
D 23 cm^2
E 173.82 cm^2
F 510 cm^2

Same as #5.

19. What is the area of this rectangle?

Use Pythagoras to work out the height of the rectangle.

A 17.06 sq units
B 60 sq units
C 21.6 sq units
D 53 sq units
E 28.9 sq units
F 51 sq units z

H^2 = 13^2 - 12^2
H^2 = 169 - 144
H^2 = 25
H = 5

Not too sure what I did wrong here.

20. What is the area of this polygon?

My picture below shows how you can split this shape into a rectangle and a triangle. You will also need to use Pythag. to get the length of the red line.

A 178 sq units
B 129 sq units
C 230 sq units
D 240 sq units
E 219 sq units
F 206 sq units

Ok so the rectangle area is 152 and the triangle area is 54. Add them together to get 206 which will be the answer: F - 206 sq units.

Bob · 2013-09-15 22:45:16

hi demha

Q5 and Q17

Ok good idea. Here's a nonagon example. Diagram below.

Let's say side AB = 6 cm. M is midpoint AB so angle OMA = 90.

angle AOB = 360/9 = 40 => angle AOM = 20

OM is adjacent to this angle; AM is opposite => OM = 3/tan(20)

=> area AOB = 0.5 x 6 x 3/tan(20)

=> area of nonagon = 9 x 0.5 x 6 x 3/tan(20)

19. What is the area of this rectangle?

Use Pythagoras to work out the height of the rectangle.

A 17.06 sq units
B 60 sq units
C 21.6 sq units
D 53 sq units
E 28.9 sq units
F 51 sq units z

H^2 = 13^2 - 12^2
H^2 = 169 - 144
H^2 = 25
H = 5

Not too sure what I did wrong here.

No, nothing wrong, that's OK. But now you want the area .....

20. What is the area of this polygon?

My picture below shows how you can split this shape into a rectangle and a triangle. You will also need to use Pythag. to get the length of the red line.

A 178 sq units
B 129 sq units
C 230 sq units
D 240 sq units
E 219 sq units
F 206 sq units

Ok so the rectangle area is 152 and the triangle area is 54. Add them together to get 206 which will be the answer: F - 206 sq units.

Correct!

5. A regular heptagon with a side of 7 inches.
A 178.06 sq in
B 294.16 sq in
C 169.21 sq in
D 358.91 sq in
E 157.36 sq in
F 277.91 sq in

360/7 = 51.42 => 25.71

3/tan(25.71)

7 x 0.5 x 7 x 3/tan(25.71)

Am I going the correct way with this? If so, how would I solve here? This is as far as I went:
24.5 x 3/tan(25.71)

---
19. What is the area of this rectangle?

Use Pythagoras to work out the height of the rectangle.

A 17.06 sq units
B 60 sq units
C 21.6 sq units
D 53 sq units
E 28.9 sq units
F 51 sq units z

H^2 = 13^2 - 12^2
H^2 = 169 - 144
H^2 = 25
H = 5

So now I know that Height = 5 and Base = 12, SO 5 x 12 = 60 sq units which is answer B.

Bob · 2013-09-16 05:15:56

Q19 is now correct. Well done.

Q5 has a minor error.

5. A regular heptagon with a side of 7 inches.
A 178.06 sq in
B 294.16 sq in
C 169.21 sq in
D 358.91 sq in
E 157.36 sq in
F 277.91 sq in

360/7 = 51.42 => 25.71

3/tan(25.71)

AM is half AB

Bob

demha · 2013-09-16 05:39:30

Oh so it's 7/2 = 3.5, then

7 x 0.5 x 7 x 3.5/tan(25.71)

If this is correct, how would I solve it from here?

Bob · 2013-09-16 06:10:59

Yes, that's it. Just grab your calculator and work it out.

Peccatrix123 · 2021-05-13 04:53:54

Of course sir! Please take your time

Bob · 2021-05-13 05:00:04

hi Peccatrix123

Welcome to the forum.

The diagram is in post 1. Not sure why my version isn't showing.

I'll describe it in words. Hopefully you can sort it out from that.

It's a pentagon, not regular.

Top side is 8. It turns through 90 to a length of 10. Let's call that corner A
Then it turns to a side 15. Let's call that corner B

Then it turns again to make a side of 20. Let's call that corner C.

At the other end of the 20, say point D, it turns through 90 again and heads back to the first side, getting there at point E
So we have EA = 8, AB = 10, BC = 15, CD =20 and DE we are not told.

If you continue the line of AB until the extended line meets CD, lets call that point F.

So the pentagon is split into a rectangle EAFD, and a triangle BCF. Hope that makes sense for you.

As EA is 8 and DC is 20, we can work out FC.

Then, using Pythag. you can calculate BF.

So that allows you to say how long AF (=DE) is and so work out the area of the rectangle, and the triangle by 0.5 x BF x CF.

If that all makes sense work out the two shapes and post back what you get so I can check your answers.

Bob

Peccatrix123 · 2021-05-13 05:23:54

Hello sir,
I understand EA, BC, CD, I'm just confused by where point F is. Is F where the shape kind of slants?
Also, would FC be 12?

Thanks,
J

My picture below shows how you can split this shape into a rectangle and a triangle. You will also need to use Pythag. to get the length of the red line.
A 178 sq units
B129 sq units
C230 sq units
D240 sq units
E 219 sq units
F 206 sq units

Hope that helps
Bob
