It's False; an octagon has 8 vertices. When you remove the starting vertex and the two adjacent vertices we're left with 5 possible diagonals
Answer:
This uses the method of elimination/addition.
Step-by-step explanation:
1 (9x + 7y = 15)
-7 (5x + y = -9) <— let’s eliminate y for both equations
9x + 7y = 15
+ -35x - 7y = 63 <— add both of the equations
—————————————————
- 26x + 0y = 6
(Please let me know if the answer is correct or not)
3/2 because the proper solution is rise over run, in this case it rises 3 & runs to the right 2
This problem is solely on right triangles, wherein the Pythagorean theorem may be applied. We must first find the angle of elevation of the flagpole using Tim's height and the difference between the shadow of the flagpole and Tim's distance from the flagpole. Therefore tan a = 1.65/(16.6-12.5) where a=21.68 degrees. We use this angle to determine the height of the flagpole. tan 21.68 = x/ 16.6 where x=height of flagpole=6.6 meters.
