A regular polygon has a exterior of 18 degrees. How many sides does it have?

7 0

The angles of a regular polygon add up to 360 degrees so if it is a REGULAR polygon then all of the angles must be equal/the same. So you do 360 divided by 18 to see how many sides there are so that would give a simple answer of 20. I was able to work this out in my head by doing 36 divided 18 (I took the 0 off the 360 to make the sum easier) which = 2 and then added the 0 back on from the 360 which gave me 20. So the regular polygon has 20 sides

The formula of the measurement of an exterior angle of a regular polygon is
β = 360°/n
where β = exterior angle and n = number of sides

Therefore,
n = 360°/β = 360°/18° = 20 sides

The line perpendicular to y= (-3/2)x -4 and goes through (1,4)

Paladinen [302]

Answer <u>(assuming it is allowed to be in point-slope format)</u>:

$y-4 = \frac{2}{3}(x-1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, determine the slope. We know it has to be perpendicular to the given equation, $y = -\frac{3}{2} x-4$ . That equation is already in slope-intercept form, or y = mx + b format, in which m represents the slope. Since $-\frac{3}{2}$ is in place of the m in the equation, that must be the slope of the given line.

Slopes that are perpendicular are opposite reciprocals of each other (they have different signs, and the denominators and numerators switch places). Thus, the slope of the new line must be $\frac{2}{3}$ .

2) Now, use the point-slope formula, $y-y_1 = m (x-x_1)$ to write the new equation with the given information. Substitute $m$ , $x_1$ , and $y_1$ for real values.

The $m$ represents the slope, so substitute $\frac{2}{3}$ in its place. The $x_1$ and $y_1$ represent the x and y values of a point the line intersects. Since the point crosses (1,4), substitute 1 for $x_1$ and 4 for $y_1$ . This gives the following equation and answer:

$y-4 = \frac{2}{3}(x-1)$
