Answer: x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating the sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon is: (n - 2) × 180°. Where n is number of sides.

sum of angles = (n - 2) × 180

sum of angles = (7 - 2) × 180

sum of angles = 5 × 180

sum of angles = 900°

Now to find the value of x, we have to set each of the interior angles, added up, equal to 900°:

7x + 1 + 10x + 6x + 7 + 10x - 9 + 9x + 4 + 8x + 10 + 9x + 2 = 900

Combine like terms:

(7x + 10x + 6x + 10x + 9x + 8x + 9x) + (1 + 7 - 9 + 4 + 10 + 2) = 900

59x + 15 = 900

59x + 15 - 15 = 900 - 15 subtract 15 from both sides

59x = 885

59x/59 = 885/59 divide by 59 on both sides

x = 15

Solve for X and solve for Y?

Llana [10]

Answer:

$x=3\sqrt 5\\$

$y = \sqrt {126}$

Step-by-step explanation:

By geometric mean property:

$x = \sqrt{9 \times 5} = \sqrt{45} = 3 \sqrt{5} \\ \\ by \: pythagoras \: theorem \\ \\ {y}^{2} = {9}^{2} + {x}^{2} \\ \\ {y}^{2} = {9}^{2} + {(3 \sqrt{5}) }^{2} \\ \\ {y}^{2} = 81 + 45 \\ \\ {y}^{2} = 126 \\ \\ y = \sqrt{126}$

What should you conclude if, after solving an equation, the result is 1/2= 2/3

hram777 [196]

Answer:

no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 = 2/3

This is not a true statement. If you get this after solving an equation, there is no solution to your equation.

In a study to establish the absolute threshold of hearing, 80 male college freshmen were each seated in a soundproof room and a

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

To study the threshold of hering the researcher took a random sample of 80 male college freshmen.

The students underwent an audiometry test where a tome was played and they had to press a button when they detected it. The researcher recorded the lowest stimulus level at which the tone was detected obtaining a sample mean of X[bar]= 22.2 dB and a standard deviation of S= 2.1 dB

To estimate the population mean, since we don't have information about the variable distribution but the sample size is greater than 30, you can use the approximation of the standard normal distribution:

X[bar] ± $Z_{1-\alpha /2} * \frac{S}{\sqrt{n} }$
