Answer:

pentagon=540°

octagon= 1080°

decagon= = 1440°

forty-sided polygon= 6840°

fifty-two-sided polygon=9000°

hundred-sided polygon=17640°

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the measure of the sum of the interior angle of a polygon, we will simple use the formula;

sum of interior angle = (n-2)180

where n is the number of sides of the polygon

We are ask to find the sum of the interior angle of a pentagon, octagon, decagon, a forty-sided polygon, a fifty-two-sided polygon and a hundred-sided polygon.

First we need to define some terminology;

A penatgon is a five(5)-sided polygon

An Octagon is an eight(8)-sided polygon

A Decagon is a ten(10)-sided polygon

We can now proceed to solve

sum of interior angle = (n-2)180

Sum of interior angle of a pentagon = (5-2)180

                                                             = 3 × 180

                                                             =540°

Sum of interior angle of a pentagon = 540°

Sum of interior angle of an octagon  = (8-2)180

                                                             = 6 × 180

                                                             =1080°

Sum of interior angle of an octagon = 1080°

Sum of interior angle of a decagon  = (10-2)180

                                                             = 8 × 180

                                                             =1440°

Sum of interior angle of a decagon = 1440°

Sum of interior angle of a forty-sided polygon  = (40-2)180

                                                                               = 38 × 180

                                                                                =6840°

Sum of interior angle of a forty-sided polygon = 6840°

Sum of interior angle of a fifty-two-sided polygon  = (52-2)180

                                                                                    = 50 × 180

                                                                                     =9000°

Sum of interior angle of a fifty-two-sided polygon = 9000°

Sum of interior angle of a hundred-sided polygon  = (100-2)180

                                                                                     = 98 × 180

                                                                                      =17640°

Sum of interior angle of a hundred-sided polygon = 17640°

This likely has a pattern. Lets see if we can find it.

The sum of a triangle is 180
The sum of a 4 sided figure is 360
The sum of a 5 sided figure is 3*180 = 540
The sum of a 6 sided figure is 4*180 = 720
==========================
The pattern looks like it it (( n-2 )*180) for any polygon where n is the number of sides of the polygon.

You can convince yourself (but this is not a formal proof) by starting with a 6 sided figure. Pick one point on the figure where 2 sides meet. Draw diagonals to all the points not connected to the point you've chosen. You should be able to get 4 such diagonals. You have created 4 triangles.

4*180 = 720 just what your estimate said.d

8 sides will give 6*180 = 1080 degrees and if you keep going on the above table you will see 1080 come up for 8. I'd post a diagram but I don't know how to upload it.


This procedure is extremely important. There is a new math around where these kinds of problems are solved by reducing them to much simpler questions, and getting an answer for them. The pattern is what you are looking for.

Now you can do the rest of the questions.
Pentagon: (5 - 2) * 180 = 
Octagon: (8 - 2) * 180 =
dodecagon (12 - 2)*180=
40 sides 38*180 =  
100 sides 98 * 180 =

If the side length of a cube is 40 what is the surface area
Elodia [21]
A cube has 6 sides.

A cube is all made up of squares.

So, we need to find the area of one cube and multiply that by 6.

Length * width= area

40*40= 1,600

Multiply that by 6.

1,600*6= 9600

Whatever the unit is after that: in, feet, cm, m, etc- put that after the number with ^2.

9,600 (the unit) ^2

I hope this helps!

Consider the population regression of log earnings [Yᵢ, where Yᵢ= ln(Earningsᵢ)] against two binary variables:
puteri [66]

Answer:

A) allows the population effect on log earnings of being married to depend on gender

Step-by-step explanation:

The regression equation of a dependent variable based on two or more independent variables is of the form:

Y=b_{0}+b_{1}X_{1} +b_{2}X_{2}+b_{3}X_{1}X_{2}

Here,

<em>Y</em> = dependent variable

X_{1} and X_{2} = independent variables

X_{1}X_{2} = interaction term

b_{1},\ b_{2}\ and \ b_{3} = regression coefficients.

If there is a significant interaction effect present then this implies that the effect of one independent variable (X_{1} orX_{2} ) on the dependent variable (<em>Y</em>) differs every time with different value of the other independent variable  (X_{1} orX_{2} ) .

The provided regression equation is:

Y_{i}=\beta _{0}+\beta _{1}D_{1i}+\beta_{2}D_{2i}+\beta _{3}D_{1i}D_{2i}+u_{i}

Y_{i} = dependent variable

D_{1i} and D_{2i} = independent variables

In this case the interaction term is defined as follows:

The effect of being married on log earnings is dependent on different values of the variables D_{2i}, i.e. the gender of the i^{th}person.

Thus, the correct option is (A).

A banks loan officer rates applicants for credit. The ratings are normally distributed with a mean of 200 and a standard deviati
Alona [7]

Answer:

2.87%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following information:

mean (m) = 200

standard deviation (sd) = 50

sample size = n = 40

the probability that their mean is above 21.5 is determined as follows:

P (x> 21.5) = P [(x - m) / (sd / n ^ (1/2))> (21.5 - 200) / (50/40 ^ (1/2))]

P (x> 21.5) = P (z> -22.57)

this value is very strange, therefore I suggest that it is not 21.5 but 215, therefore it would be:

P (x> 215) = P [(x - m) / (sd / n ^ (1/2))> (215 - 200) / (50/40 ^ (1/2))]

P (x> 215) = P (z> 1.897)

P (x> 215) = 1 - P (z <1.897)

We look for this value in the attached table of z and we have to:

P (x> 215) = 1 - 0.9713 (attached table)

P (x> 215) =.0287

Therefore the probability is approximately 2.87%
