Answer:

  • 9 digit long

Let the number of digits be n and the number of elements in set be s.

<h3>When n = 1</h3>
  • The set contains 1-digit numbers, 1 through 9,
  • The set consists of 10 - 1 = 9 numbers.

<h3>When n = 2</h3>
  • The set contains 2-digit numbers, 10 through 99,
  • The set contains 100 - 10 = 90 numbers.

<h3>When n = 3</h3>
  • The set contains 3-digit numbers, 100 through 999,
  • The set contains 1000 - 100 = 900 numbers.

The pattern we see helps us determine the relationship between s and n as follows.

When set contains n-digit numbers, the set contains:

  • s = 10ⁿ - 10ⁿ⁻¹ = 10ⁿ⁻¹(10 - 1) = 9*10ⁿ⁻¹ elements

We have s known, substitute it into equation above and solve for n:

  • 900000000 = 9*10ⁿ¹
  • 100000000 = 10ⁿ⁻¹
  • 10⁸ = 10ⁿ⁻¹
  • n - 1 = 8
  • n = 9

The numbers in the set s are 9-digit long.

The sum of the interior angles of Michael’s polygon equals 180°. The sum of the interior angles of Cary’s polygon equals 360°. H
Lady_Fox [76]
Recall that for a polygon to have 180° as the sum of its interior angles, then it must have three sides and thus a triangle. And similarly, for a polygon to have a sum of 360°, it must have four sides or it is a quadrilateral.

[Note that for larger angles, we can apply the formula 180(n - 2) to find the total sum of the interior angles. n is the number of sides]

Now, since we're comparing a four-sided and three-sided polygon, this means that they only differ by 1 side. 

Answer: A. 1 side
