From calculations, we can say that the given tiles will not fit together perfectly.

<h3>How to find the sum of interior angles of a Polygon?</h3>

If the tiles join perfectly at a point, sum of all angles around the joining point should be 360°.

Expression for the measure of the interior angle of a polygon,

Interior angle of a polygon = [(n - 2) * 180]/n

Interior angle of a pentagon = [(5 - 2) * 180]/5 = 108°

Interior angle of a hexagon = [(6 - 2) * 180]/6 = 120°

Interior angle of an octagon = [(8 - 2) * 180]/8 = 135°

To prove that the given tiles fit together perfectly → Sum of all the angles around the common point should be 360°

Sum of all interior angles = 108° + 120° + 135° = 363°

Therefore, given tiles will not fit together perfectly.

Which expression represents 9 less than a number?
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

x-9

Step-by-step explanation:

"Less than" switches the way of the expression.

If the "less than" was not there it would have been:

9-x

"Less" means subtract so you would subtract x from 9.

Hope this helped!

What is the value of x in the diagram?
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

x = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

here 50 is hypotenuse as it is opposite of 90 degree.

x and x + 10 are the two other smaller sides of a right angled triangle respectively.

using pythagoras theorem,

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

x^2 + (x + 10)^2 = 50^2

x^2 + x^2 + 20x + 100 = 2500

2x^2 + 20x + 100 = 2500

2x^2 + 20x + 100 - 2500 = 0

2x^2 + 20x - 2400 = 0

2(x^2 + 10x - 1200) = 0

x^2 + 10x - 1200 = 0

x^2 + (40 - 30) - 1200 = 0

x^2 + 40x - 30x - 1200 = 0

x(x + 40) - 30(x + 40x) = 0

(x + 40)(x - 30) = 0

either x + 40 = 0          OR x - 30 = 0

x = 0 - 40

x = -40

x - 30 = 0

x = 30

x = -40,30

since the length and distance is not measured in negative ur answer will be 30
