The exterior angle is always supplemental (adds up to 180°). So if the interior angle is 135°, the exterior angle will be 45°. This is because an exterior angle is formed by extending one side out and measuring the new exterior angle.

Answer:

b.  no; measure of interior angle = 135°

Step-by-step explanation:

A regular polygon can only tessellate the plane when its interior angle divides 360 degrees.

The polygons that tessellate are - the square, the equilateral triangle, and the regular hexagon.

The octagon cannot tessellate because its internal angle does not divide 360 degrees. Tessellation means an arrangement of polygons in a repeated pattern without overlapping.

The internal angle of an octagon is 135 degrees. When we divide 360 by 135 we get,

\frac{360}{135}= 2.66 Its not a complete number this is why octagons do not tessellate.

Jesse uses this expression to determine how much to pay, including tax and tip, when he goes out to a restaurant:
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

x is the price of the meal

(1+0.0825 + 0.18) is the total percentage on top of the price he pays with sales tax and tip.

Step-by-step explanation:

The factor x is the price of the meal. The factor (1 + 0.0825 + 0.18) is the 100% of the price, the sales tax on that price and the tip on the total. 1 + 0.0825 + 0.18 = 1.2625 is the total percentage he pays on the price. He pays 26.25% in addition of the price of the meal to cover tax and tip.
