Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer: The quotient is not a number at all. It's simply undefined.

Discussion:

Consider the numbers "a" and "b" and further suppose that

a/0 = b

Multiplying both sides by 0 gives

(a/0) * 0 = b * 0

Cancelling the highlighted 0s gives a = 0!. Something is wrong here as "a" is not equal to zero! The error was produced by assuming the divison by 0 yield a number.

You will encounter this "divide by zero" matter several times in a Calculus courses.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Euler's formula for polyhedra states that

F + V - E = 2

where F is faces, V is vertices and E is edges

Substitute the values given and solve for F, that is

F + 13 - 26 = 2

F - 13 = 2 ( add 13 to both sides )

F = 15 → B

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ AFD = ∠ AFB + ∠ BFC + ∠ CFD

The 3 angles form a straight angle and sum to 180°, that is

4x + 5 + 6x + 3 + 5x + 7 = 180, that is

15x + 15 = 180 ( subtract 15 from both sides )

15x = 165 ( divide both sides by 15 )

x = 11

∠ CFD = 5x + 7 = 5(11) + 7 = 55 + 7 = 62°, thus

∠ AFE = ∠ CFD = 62° ( vertical angles are congruent )
