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 =

qaws [65]

Answer:89%

Step-by-step explanation: its the probability that they will get anything other than an arm tattoo. So you subtract 43 from 389 and it gives you 346,

346/389 x 100% = 88.9%

How do i reflect something on a grid?
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Think of reflect as looking in a mirror. The question should tell you how your reflecting. It might say "reflect the rectangle over the y axis"  (Look at the attachment below to see example).

Step-by-step explanation:

I can help more if I see the question. But usually questions ask you to reflect over the y or x axis.

What is the probability of getting either a sum of 66 or at least one 66 in the roll of a pair of​ dice?
Sindrei [870]
So I'm hoping you mean 6, or else the probability is 0. So the possible ways of getting a sum of 6 is 1&5, 2&4, 3&3, 4&2, 5&1. There are 36 different ways of rolling the dice, so divide the 5 possible ways by 36. Then, we need to add the possibility of getting at least one 6 in the roll. It doesn't matter what the other die is, so for each die, the probability is 1/6, and for both, the probability is 2/6. Add this to the probability of getting a sum of 6, and you get your answer.

Find 2 coordinates on the graph : (0, -20) and (10, 10)

Slope = (10 - (-20) ) / (10 - 0) = 30/10 = 3

Slope = 3

y-intercept = (0, - 20)

Equation : y = 3x - 20

Since the right hand side is shaded,  the equation is y > 3x - 20.
