--------------------------------------------------------------------
Formula
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Sum of all interior angles = (n - 2) x 180,  
n being the number of sides

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Find n
--------------------------------------------------------------------
(n - 2) x 180 = 5400

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Apply distributive property to remove bracket
--------------------------------------------------------------------
180n - 360 = 5400

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Add 360 on both sides
--------------------------------------------------------------------
180n = 5760

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Divide by 180 on both sides
--------------------------------------------------------------------
n = 32

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The polygon has 32 sides

Think of it backwards. To get the total measure of the interior angles of a polygon, you divide the polygon into triangles, where a base of each triangle makes up a side of the polygon, and every triangle shares a vertex towards the center of the polygon. We know that the sum of the interior angles in triangles is 180 degrees. Two of the 3 interior angles of each triangle make up the interior angles of the entire polygon. If you add up the third angle of each triangle, you will get 360 degrees. So, the sum of the interior angles of a polygon is equal to the number of sides the polygon has times 180 degrees minus 360 degrees. Written as an expression, you get:
180n-360, where n is the number of sides a polygon has.
Set this equal to 5400 to get the answer:
5400=180n-360
180n=5760
n=32

So the polygon has 32 sides.

The quadratic model f(x) = –5x2 + 200 represents the approximate height, in meters, of a ball x seconds after being dropped. The
Lelu [443]
The quadratic model is f(x) = -5x^2 + 200.
f(x) = 50 meters
x = time in seconds

50 = -5x^2 + 200
5x^2 = 150 // Here, divide both side by 5
x^2 = 30
x = \sqrt{30} seconds
Or approximately 5.48 seconds

Find an equation of the line through (3,6) and parallel to y = 4x - 7.
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

y=4x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, to do this we must understand what parallel means.

parallel means that that one line will NEVER touch the other. In order for this to happen they must be increasing (or decreasing) by the SAME rate. I.e the slope of your line must be the same as the lin in question thus our equation looks like,

y=4x+c.

Now lets find c.

To do this, plug the point (3,6) into the equation

6=4(3)+C

6=12+C

-6=C

Thus now that we know C, our equaiton is

y=4x-6
