Which polygon is a concave octagon?
Bezzdna [24]

The polygon in option 3 is not octagon at all, it is heptagon (or 7-sided polygon).

A convex octagon has no angles pointing inwards. More precisely, no internal angles can be more than 180°.

When some internal angle is greater than 180°, it is concave.

In option 2 you can see that one angle is pointing inward, then this octagon is concave.

Answer: correct choice is B.

The average age of instructors at a local college is 55, with a standard deviation of 6 years; the average salary is $37,000 wit
Lerok [7]
To solve for the coefficient of variation you will need this formula:
CV = (SD/X) x 100 
Where: CV = Coefficient of Variance
             X = Mean/average
             SD = Standard Deviation

To determine which one is more variable, just get the coefficient of both and compare.
                   AGE                                            SALARY
   
  CV = (6/55) x 100                             CV = (4,100/37,000) x 100
        = 10.90                                             = 11.08

Based on the results, salary is more variable because 10.90<11.08.

It takes Sam 3 hours to rake leaves, but if Laura helps, it takes 2 hours. How long would it take Laura to rake the leaves on he
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Time taken by Sam = 3 hours

Sam's rate = 1/3

Time taken : Sam + Laura = 2 hours

Sam's rate + Laura's rate = 1/2

Let time taken by Laura = x

1/3 + 1/x = 1/2

1/x = 1/2 - 1/3

1/x = (3 - 2) / 6

1/x = 1 /6

x = 6

Hencw, it will take 6 hours for Laura alone to rake leaves
