Suppose a regular n-gon is inscribed in a circle of radius r. Diagrams are shown for n=6, n=8, and n = 12. n = 6 n=8 n = 12 a a VT a Imagine how the relationship between the n-gon and the circle changes as n increases. 1. Describe the relationship between the area of the n-gon and the area of the circle as n increases.

If an N-gon (polygon with N sides) has perimeter P, then each of the  

N sides has length P/N.  If we connect two adjacent vertices to the  

center, the angle between these two lines is 360/N degrees, or 2*pi/N  

radians.  (Do you understand radian measure well enough to follow me  

this far?)

The two lines I just drew, plus the side of the polygon between them,  

form an isosceles triangle.  Adding the altitude of the isosceles  

triangle makes two right triangles, and we can use one of them to  

derive the equation

 sin(theta/2) =  s/(2R)

where theta is the apex angle (which I said is 2*pi/N radians), R is  

the length of the lines to the center (the radius of the circumscribed  

circle), and s is the length of the side (which I said is P/N).

Putting those values into the equation, we have

 sin(pi/N) = P/(2NR)

so that

 P = 2NR sin(pi/N)

gives the perimeter of the N-gon with circumradius R.

Can we see a connection between this formula and the perimeter of a  

circle?  The perimeter of the circumcircle is 2*pi*R.  As we increase  

N, the perimeter of the polygon should get closer and closer to this  

value.  Comparing the two, we see

 2NR*sin(pi/N) approaches 2*pi*R

 N*sin(pi/N)   approaches pi

You can check this out with a calculator, using big numbers for N such  

as your teacher's N=1000.  If you calculate the sine of an angle in  

degrees rather than radians, the formula will look like

 N*sin(180/N) --> pi

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is a

so firstly, we need to isolate the y variables to be able to solve these inequalities. firstly, add 0.5x on both sides of the first inequality and subtract 1.5x on both sides of the second inequality:

now since the slope is positive for the first inequality, this means that the line going upwards belongs to the first inequality, and the line going downwards belongs to the second inequality.

next, since y ≥ in the first inequality, this means that the shaded region will be above the first inequality's line, thus shading regions a and b.

next, since y ≤ in the second inequality, this means that the shaded region is going to be below this line, thus shading regions a and c.

since both lines shade region a, this means that region a is the solution.
