Let X, Y, Z be respectively the areas of a regular pentagon, regular hexagon and regular heptagon which are inscribed in a circle of radius 1 . Then
Options
- Ax 5 < Y 6 < Z 7 and X < Y < Z
- Bx 5 Y > Z
- Cx 5 > Y 6 > Z 7 and X > Y > Z ,
- Dx 5 > Y 6 > Z 7 and X < Y < Z
Correct answer
D. x 5 > Y 6 > Z 7 and X < Y < Z
Step-by-step solution
Area of Pentagon =5 1 2 72^ =2.377= x Area of hexagon =6 1 2 60^ =3 3 2 =2.598= y Area of heptagon =7 1 2 360^ 7 =2.73= z
