16. would be C since they both consist of the same variable to the same power
17. x-2x+7-9+4x
c. 3x-2
18. -4(3a-5). You would multiply -4 by 3 a, and -4 by -5. It turns to
-4(3a)-4(-5)
a. -12a+20
Answer:
The perimeter of the base of the birdhouse is 36 units
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The complete question is</em></u>
Chase is building a birdhouse in the shape of a regular polygon. He knows that the measure of the interior angle is twice the measure of the exterior angle and the length of a diagonal that passes through the center is 12. What is the perimeter of the base of the birdhouse?
step 1
Find the measure of the interior angle
Let
x ---> the measure of the interior angle
y ---> the measure of the exterior angle
Remember that
the sum of the interior and exterior angle in any polygon is equal to 180 degrees
so
----> equation A
we have that
the measure of the interior angle is twice the measure of the exterior angle
so
----> equation B
substitute equation B in equation A


so

That means-----> The figure is a regular hexagon
step 2
Remember that
The length of the diagonal that passes through the center of the hexagon is equal to two times the length of the regular hexagon
Let
b ----> the length side of the hexagon
so

The perimeter of the hexagon is given by the formula

substitute

Answer=1.335 or 1 67/200
813 field goals
1422 attempts
1422-813=609 fails
813/609=1.335 successes per fail
1.335= 1 335/1000= 1 67/200
