The Ferris wheel has the shape of a regular n-gon (regular polygon with n vertices).

check the pictures attached to verify the following rule: the diagonals of a vertex divide a n-gon into (n-2) triangles. 

This means that the sum of the measures of the interior angles  of a n-gon is 180°(the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle ) * (n-2), which is the total number of triangles constructed this way.

In a regular polygon, this total sum, is equally 'distributed' to each of the n vertices.

Conclusion:
the sum of the measures of a regular n-gon is 180(n-2)
the measure of 1 angle of a regular n-gon is \frac{180(n-2)}{n}
In our problem, the sum of the measures of the interior angles is 7740º. So to find n, the number of vertices of the polygon:
<span>
7740º=180(n-2)

n-2=7740</span>°/180°<span>=43
n=45

So the Ferris wheel has 45 vertices, so 45 cars, each of which can hold 5 people.

Maximum number the Ferris can hold is 45*5=225  people</span>

<h3>Answer:  6.93</h3>

Work Shown:

Use the pythagorean theorem to find x

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

x^2 + 11^2 = 13^2

x^2 + 121 = 169

x^2 = 169 - 121

x^2 = 48

x = sqrt(48)

x = 6.92820323027551

x = 6.93

Which expression can be used to solve 3/5 ÷ 7/10​
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3/5 divided by 7/10

You use KCF

KCF stands for keep change flip

So it would be 3/5x10/7

3              10                    15

_      x       _        =            _

5               7                       7

you need to simplify it so the 5 in 3/5 would be a 1 and the 10 in 10/7 would be  5
