If the polygon shown below is a regular nonagon what is the value of x?

Mathematics

jeyben [28]3 years ago

The sum of the measures of the angles of a polygon is given by (<em>n</em> - 2)(180), where <em>n</em> is the number of sides.  In this case we would have (9-2)(180)=7(180)=1260.  This is the <u>sum</u> of the angles.  Since it is a regular nonagon, that means that all sides are congruent and all angles are congruent.  Therefore we find the measure of each individual angle by dividing the sum, 1260, by the number of sides, 9.  1260/9=140.  <em>x</em> forms a linear pair with one of the interior angles; that means that the interior angle, 140, added to <em>x</em> would give us 180.  Therefore we find <em>x</em> by subtracting 180-140. <em>x</em> = 40.

A cylindrical tank has a radius of 15 ft. and a height of 45 ft. How many cubic feet of water can the tank hold?
vladimir1956 [14]
The formula to solve for this would be pi(r^2)xheight. Essentially what this formula does is it takes the are of the base (pi x r^2) and multiplies it by the height of the cylinder to find how many times the base can stack on itself until it reaches the top. This formula of base are times height works for all prisms with two bases. Here are the steps to solve:

1) plug in the values
- pi(15^2) x 45

2) solve for the base area of one of the circles
- pi(15^2)=225pi

3) multiply the base area by the height
- 225pi x 45 = 10,125pi

4) final answer: the tank can hold 10,125pi cubic feet of water
