The measures of 6 of the interior angles of a heptagon are: 120°, 150°, 135°, 170°, 90°, and 125°. What is the measure of the la
rgest exterior angle?
1 answer:
1. consider one angle of a (convex) heptagon. From that angle you can construct 7-3=4 diagonals. (-3 because we cannot create diagonals with the adjacent vertices and the angle itself )
2. 4 diagonals create 5 triangular regions. (check the picture)
3. So the sum of the measures of the interior angles of the heptagon is 180°*5=900°.
4. The measure of the remaining 7th interior angle is 900°-(120+150+135+170+90+125)°=110°.
5. The largest exterior angle is when the interior angle is the smallest.
6. The smallest interior angle is 90°, so the largest exterior angle is 180°-90°=90°
Answer: 90°

Therefore we have:
Substitute:
Answer:
(a) 4.152698
(b) 3.215557
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
n=4, so :
Each subinterval has length :
Therefore the subintervals consist of:
Now, the midpoints of these subintervals are:
Hence:
(b)
n=4, so :
Each subinterval has length :
Therefore the subintervals consist of:
[1,5], [5,9], [9,13]
The endpoints of the subintervals consist of:
5,9
Hence:
