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 equations represent the line that is parallel to 3x – 4y = 7 and passes through the point (-4,-2)? Select two
seropon [69]

Answer:

4y = 3x + 4

3x-4y = -4 is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

This is what we do.

We first express the first equation in the form;

y = mx + c

where m represents the slope of the line

Thus we have;

4y = 3x -7

divide through by 4

y = 3/4x -7/4

Thus the slope here is the coefficient of x which is 3/4

Now, since the lines are parallel, it means that their slopes are equal

So the slope of the other line too is 3/4

We now use the point slope form to find the equation of this other line

Mathematically, that would be;

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

where (x1,y1) = (-4,-2)

Substituting this into the point slope equation, we have;

y-(-2) = 3/4(x-(-4))

y + 2 = 3/4(x + 4)

Cross multiply

4y + 8 = 3x + 12

4y = 3x + 12-8

4y = 3x + 4

It took francisco 60 minutes to walk from his house to his grandmother’s house. what is 60 written as a product of factors great
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

2 × 2 × 3 × 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The number = 60

To find,

Factors of 60 greater than 1 = ?

Procedure:

As we know,

Any of various numbers multiplied together to form a whole.

To find the factors of a number, we will have to do its prime factorization.

So,

The prime factorization of 60:

1 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 5 = 60

Since the factors greater than 1 are asked, the factors would be;

2 * 2 * 3 * 5

Thus, 2 * 2 * 3 * 5 is the correct answer.

True or false: Outliers can cause data sets to be skewed.
Natali [406]
True - since the outlier is way off it will cause your average to mess up which is why we test multiple times to make sure we are more accurate with our numbers

Help me with 3, and 5 show your work !
ss7ja [257]
Okay so for number 3, you have to do the top work first.

3: POSITIVE 2!! first, you do the stuff inside the parentheses first because of P(parentheses)EMDAS. so, 14-2-10! -2-10 is -12 and then plus positive 14 is +2. but, the negative sign outside of the parentheses makes that +2 a -2.
but, you cant forget the -12 outside. you have to do -12-2 which gets you -14. then, this is easy! -14 divided by -7 is a positive 2!

5: POSITIVE 3!! again, do the stuff in the parentheses first!! -2-4 is -6. then, -6 x 2 is -12! so, divide -12 by -4 and you get a positive 3!
