How is the number of vertices related to the number of sides of the polygon and to the type of polygon? Give two examples.

1 answer:

8 0

Well,

Take a triangle. It has three vertices and three sides. The three vertices dictate that there will be three sides. The same rule applies for a quadrilateral (four vertices and sides), a pentagon (five vertices and sides), etc. So the number of vertices in a polygon is equal to the number of sides in the same polygon.

Taking this a step further, since the number of vertices are equal to the number of sides, we can conclude that a polygon with three vertices is a triangle, a polygon with four vertices is a quadrilateral, a polygon with five vertices is a pentagon, etc.

For every 3 kiwis there are 4

MArishka [77]

Answer:

Ratio of 3/4 I think

Step-by-step explanation:

Because you said for every 3 kiwis there are 4 of something so you would take the number of kiwis over the other number.

If RH = 10 units, HT = 16 units, and GH = 8 units, what is the length of line segment HJ?

Dominik [7]

Answer:

$HJ=20\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

RT and GJ are chords that intersect at point H. If RH = 10 units, HT = 16 units, and GH = 8 units, what is the length of line segment HJ? 18 units 20 units 26 units 28 units

we know that

The intersecting chords theorem is a statement that describes a relation of the four line segments created by two intersecting chords within a circle. It states that the products of the lengths of the line segments on each chord are equal

In this problem

$(RH)(HT)=(GH)(HJ)$
