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>

Mrs brown =16gallons
25%=1/4
16g/4=4g

So you will either need to add or subtract 4gallons to find out what’s mr Baylis car holds you haven’t said if mr Baylis car contains more or less so

Answer:

It takes them 1.875 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the job is cleaning the house.

Mom does 1 job in 3 hours.

In 1 hour, mom does 1/3 of the job.

Dad does 1 job in 5 hours.

In 1 hour, dad does 1/5 of the job.

Mom and dad working together do the job in x hours.

In 1 hour, mom and dad together do 1/x of the job.

1/3 + 1/5 = 1/x

5/15 + 3/15 = 1/x

8/15 = 1/x

8x = 15

x = 15/8 = 1.875

Answer: It takes them 1.875 hours.

Vernice did not want to tell her age, so when she was asked, her mother answered for her. Her mother said, “I am double her age
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Vernice age be x

Her mother's age be 2x+10

10=1\2(2x+10) = 10×2=2x+10

20=2x+10

20-10=2x

10=2x

x=5
