I. SOLVING. Compute for the following. Show your complete solution inside the box. (Handwritten
or typewritten). Due date: June 21, 2021(MONDAY) 9:00 P.M.

1. Calculate for the perimeter and area of a regular 13 – gon of side length equal to 2 inches.

Perimeter: (5pts) Area: (10 pts)

P= 13S
P= 13 (2 inches) S = 26 ÷ 13 = 2 inches
P= 26 inches

 2. Given a square with area of 16 square inches, find the perimeter of the square and the area of
the regular hexagon of the same perimeter.

Perimeter(square): Area(hexagon): (10 pts)

(5pts)
S = 16 ÷ 6 = 2.67

F 30=832,040

4. Measure the distance from your wrist to your elbow and the length of your hand as shown in the
figure below.

¿ A
Then calculate distance ¿ your wrist ¿ your elbow = . Use centimeters as a
length of your hand B
unit of measurement.
Computation. (5pts) Question. Could you say that your arm is a divine ratio?
Why?
A + B = 44 cm
A = 27 cm No. Because the quotient of segment A divided by
B = 17 cm segment B of my arm is not approximate to the golden
ratio which is exactly 1.618.
A 27 cm
=
B 17 cm

A
= 1.5882 cm
B
