Every added angle to a polygon adds another 180 degrees to the sum of the angles. The starting point is 180 degrees for a triangle (n=3). So the general formula is 180*(n-2). Fill in n=3 to test if 180 comes out, it does!!
Answer:
50°
Step-by-step explanation:
In a parallelogram, opposing angles must be equal. Note how 75° = 75°. Thus, opposing angles 2x + 5 and x + 55 must also be equal.
Solve this equation for x.
Subtracting x from both sides yields x + 5 = 55. Next: Subtracting 5 from both sides yields x = 50° (answer choice C)
Answer:
one half of two fifths of x would be equivalent to one fifth of x
Answer: she still has to cut off 19/16 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Olivia wants to cut 3 3/4 inches from a piece of string. Converting 3 3/4 inches to improper fraction, it becomes 15/4 inches.
She has already cut off 2 9/16 inches from the piece of string. Converting 2 9/16 inches to improper fraction, it becomes 41/16 inches.
Therefore, the length of string that is left for her to cut off would be
15/4 - 41/16 = (60 - 41)/16
= 19/16 inches
