S = sum of the interior angles
n = number of sides

S = 1440 is given. Let's solve for n.

S = 180*(n-2)
1440 = 180*(n-2)
1440/180 = 180*(n-2)/180
8 = n-2
8+2 = n-2+2
10 = n
n = 10

There are 10 sides. This is a decagon.

A 20 ft. ladder is used against a 15 ft. wall. What is the measure of the angle made by the ladder and the ground (nearest whole
Brrunno [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The length of a ladder, H = 20 feet

The height of the wall, h = 15 ft

We know that,

\sin\theta=\dfrac{h}{H}

h is perpendicular and H is hypotenuse

So,

\sin\theta=\dfrac{15}{20}\\\\\theta=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{15}{20})\\\\\theta=48.59^{\circ}

Now using Pythagoras theoerm,

b=\sqrt{H^2-h^2}\\\\b=\sqrt{20^2-15^2}\\\\b=13.2\ ft

Hence, the angle made by the ladder and the ground is 48.59° and the ladder is 13.2 feet from the wall on the ground.

if the sum of a number and nine is doubled, the result is seven less than the number. find the number.
avanturin [10]
X=the number we have to find.
This expression "2(x+9)" is when the sum of a number and nine is doubled.
If the result is seven less than the number, we will have: x-7

We can suggest the following equation:
2(x+9)=(x-7)
2x+18=x-7
2x-x=-7-18
x=-25

answer: the number would be:  -25.
