Answer:

The regular polygon is a nonagon

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct question is

What is the name of the regular polygon that each interior angle measures 140ﾟ?

we know that

The formula to find the sum of the interior angles in a regular polygon is equal to

$n(a)=(n-2)180\°$

where

n is the number of sides of the regular polygon

a is the measure of each interior angle of the regular polygon

we have

$a=140\°$

substitute in the formula and solve for n

$n(140\°)=(n-2)180\°$

$140n=180n-360$

$180n-140n=360$

$40n=360$

$n=9\ sides$

The regular polygon has 9 sides

therefore

The regular polygon is a nonagon

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate using

PEMDAS

First we do what is inside of the Parenthesis 12 - 9 = 3

Now we have 2 + 3²

Next is Exponents 3² = 9

Now we have 2 + 9

there is no multiplication or division needed so we go straight to addition

9 + 2 = 11

So we can conclude that the answer is 11

Azul spun a tri-color spinner twice. What is the probability that the spinner landed on the colors blue and green in any order?

guapka [62]

Answer:

The Probability that the spinner landed on the colors blue and green in any order = 2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - Azul spun a tri-color spinner twice.

To find - What is the probability that the spinner landed on the colors blue and green in any order?

Solution -

Given that,

A tri-color spinner spun twice

So,

The Sample Space, S = {BB, BG, BY, GB, GG, GY, YB, YG, YY}

⇒n(S) = 9

Now,

Let A be an event that the spinner landed on the colors blue and green

So,

A = {BG, GB}

⇒n(A) = 2

Now,

Probability that the spinner landed on the colors blue and green in any order = n(A) ÷ n(S)

= 2 ÷ 9

∴ we get

The Probability that the spinner landed on the colors blue and green in any order = 2/9

A train leaves San Diego at 1:00 pm. A second train leaves the same city in the same direction at 3:00 pm. The second train trav

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The speed of the first train is 45 mph and the speed of the second train is 75 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of the first train in mph. Since the second train, is 30 mph faster then the first, therefore the speed of the second train is (x + 30).

The first train leaves at 1:00 pm, therefore at 6:00 pm, the time taken is 5 hours. Therefore the distance covered by the first train at 6:00 pm = x mph * 5 hours = 5x miles

The second train leaves at 3:00 pm, therefore at 6:00 pm, the time taken is 3 hours. Therefore the distance covered by the second train at 6:00 pm = (x + 30) mph * 3 hours = (3x + 90) miles

Since the second train overtakes the first at 6:00 pm, hence:

3x + 90 = 5x

2x = 90

x = 45

Therefore the speed of the first train is 45 mph and the speed of the second train is 75 mph (45 mph + 30 mph).

At 10 percent interest, how long does it take to quadruple your money?

horsena [70]

It takes about 14.55 years for quadruple your money

Solution:

Given that,

At 10 percent interest, how long does it take to quadruple your money

Rule of 144:

The Rule of 144 will tell you how long it will take an investment to quadruple

Here,

Rate of interest = 10 %

Therefore, number of years to quadruple your money is obtained by dividing 144 by 10

Rule of 144 Formula:

$N = \frac{144}{R}$

Where:

N = Number of many years times.

144 = Is the constant variable.

R = Rate of interest.

$\rightarrow N = \frac{144}{10} = 14.4$

Thus it takes about 14.4 years for quadruple your money.

Another method:

If initial amount is $ 1 and it if quadruples it should be $ 4

We have to find the number of years if rate of interest is 10 %

Let "n" be the number of years

Then we can say,

$Amount = Principal(1+\frac{R}{100})^n$

$4 = 1(1+\frac{10}{100})^n$

$4 = 1(1+0.1)^n\\\\4= 1(1.1)^n\\\\4 = 1.1^n\\\\We\ know\ that,\\\\(1.1)^{14.55} = 1.1^n\\\\We\ know\ that\\\\If\ a^m = a^n\ then\ m = n\\\\Therefore,\\\\14.55 = n\\\\n = 14.55$

Thus Option D 14.55 years is correct
