Answer:

Part 1)

a.1) The central angle of pentagon is 72°

a.2) The central angle of hexagon is 60°

a.3) The central angle of decagon is 36°

a.4) The central angle of dodecagon is 30°

b.1) The measure of each interior angle of pentagon is 108°

b.2) The measure of each interior angle of hexagon is 120°

b.3) The measure of each interior angle of decagon is 144°

b.4) The measure of each interior angle of dodecagon is 150°

Part 2) The central angle and the interior angle are supplementary angles

Part 3) As the number of sides increases, the central angle decreases and the interior angle increases.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1. For each polygon, include the following information in the paragraph box below:

a) What was the central angle you used to locate the vertices? Show your calculation.

we know that

To find the central angle divide 360 degrees by the number of sides of the polygon

case a.1) Pentagon

The pentagon has 5 sides

so

The central angle is equal to

360°/5=72°

case a.2) Hexagon

The pentagon has 6 sides

so

The central angle is equal to

360°/6=60°

case a.3) Decagon

The pentagon has 10 sides

so

The central angle is equal to

360°/10=36°

case a.4) Dodecagon

The pentagon has 12 sides

so

The central angle is equal to

360°/12=30°

b) What is the measure of each interior angle of the polygon? Show your calculation

we know that

The sum of the interior angle of the polygon is equal to

S=(n-2)*180°

where

n is the number of sides

To find each the measure of each interior angle, divide the sum of the interior angles by the number of sides

case b.1) Pentagon

The pentagon has 5 sides

so

S=(n-2)*180°

S=(5-2)*180°=540°

Divide by the number of sides

The measure of each interior angle is equal to

540°/5=108°

case b.2) Hexagon

The hexagon has 6 sides

so

S=(n-2)*180°

S=(6-2)*180°=720°

Divide by the number of sides

The measure of each interior angle is equal to

720°/6=120°

case b.3) Decagon

The hexagon has 10 sides

so

S=(n-2)*180°

S=(10-2)*180°=1,440°

Divide by the number of sides

The measure of each interior angle is equal to

1,440°/10=144°

case b.4) Dodecagon

The hexagon has 12 sides

so

S=(n-2)*180°

S=(12-2)*180°=1,800°

Divide by the number of sides

The measure of each interior angle is equal to

1,800°/12=150°

Part 2. What is the relationship between the central angle and the interior angle?

we know that

The sum of the central angle plus the interior angle is equal to 180 degrees

therefore

The central angle and the interior angle are supplementary angles

<em>Verify</em>

Pentagon

72°+108°=180°

Hexagon

60°+120°=180°

Decagon

36°+144°=180°

Dodecagon

30°+150°=180°  

Part 3. As the number of sides increases, how do the angles change?

we know that

As the number of sides increases, the central angle decreases and the interior angle increases.

Which point is a solution to the system of inequalities graphed here? y ≤ 2x + 2
Vlad [161]

Answer:

D) (5,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x + 4 ≤ y

-25 + 5 ≤ 0

-20 ≤ 0

y ≤ 2x + 2

0 ≤ 2(5) + 2

0 ≤ 27

Yanka [14]
So 
x- quarters
y - dimes
z- nickels

The system of equations would be
x+10=y
z+5=x
x+y+z= 4.75

3^2 - 2x + 4 and g(x) = 5x^2 + 6x - 8 find f-g(x)
sveta [45]

Answer:

For the given functions f(x) and g(x) (f-g)(x) = -2x^{2}  - 8x +12

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given function are:

f(x)  = 3x^{2}  - 2x+ 4\\g(x) = 5x^{2}  + 6x -8

Now, simplifying for (f-g)(x)  =  f(x) -  g(x):

f(x) - g(x)  = (3x^{2}  - 2x+ 4) - (5x^{2}  + 6x -8)

 = 3x^{2}  - 2x+ 4- 5x^{2}  - 6x +8

Doing operation on LIKE TERMS,  we get

f(x) -  g(x) = ( 3x^{2}- 5x^{2})   + (-2x - 6x)  +( 4 +8) = -2x^{2}  - 8x + 12

Hence, for the given functions f(x) and g(x) (f-g)(x) = -2x^{2}  - 8x +12
