2.8y + 6 +0.2 y =5y -14

1 answer:

3 0

2.8y + 6 + 0.2y = 5y - 14
(Simplify like terms in first half of equation)
3y + 6 = 5y - 14
(Subtract both sides by 3y)
6 = 2y - 14
(Flip)
2y - 14 = 6
(Add both sides by 14)
2y = 20
(Divide both sides by 2)
y=10

Calculate the sum of the interior angles of the following polygon 6 sided 15 sided and 3 sided

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

720°, 2340°, 180°

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the attached image of a regular hexagon. I drew all possible lines from a vertex to other vertices (AC, AD, AE). Drawing in all those diagonals splits the hexagon into 4 triangles, and adding up the measures of all the triangle angles would account for all the interior angles of the hexagon.

♦ Four triangles have an angle sum of 180° x 4 = 720° (180° in each triangle).

See attached image2 to see what happens in an octagon. There are six triangles formed, so the total of all interior angle measures is 6 x 180° = 1080°.

What about a 15-sided regular polygon? How many triangles would be formed by putting in all the diagonals coming from one vertex? There will be 2 fewer triangles than the number of vertices, 13.

♦ The total of interior angle measures in a 15-gon is 13(180°) = 2340°

♦ A polygon with 3 sides is a single triangle; interior angle sum = 180°
