On a blueprint, the scale says that 2 cm represents 3 m. What is the actual length of a wall if its measurement on the blueprint
Leokris [45]

Answer:

The actual length of the wall is 10.5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Write and solve an equation of ratios to answer this question:

2 cm       3 m

--------- = ---------

7 cm         L

Solve this for L by inverting both sides:  

 7cm          L

---------- = --------

  2 cm      3 m

and then multiplying both sides by 3m:

21

----- = L

 2

The actual length of the wall is 10.5 m

What is the sum of the exterior angles, one at each vertex, of a polygon with 20 sides?A.20B.360C.180D. We need more information
ale4655 [162]

The measure of an exterior angle in a polygon with n sides is given by:

a_n=\frac{360}{n}

So, for n = 20, we have the measure of the exterior angles of the polygon with 20 sides:

\begin{gathered} a_{20}=\frac{360}{20} \\ a_{20}=18\degree \end{gathered}

Now, to find the sum of all exterior angles, let's multiply the exterior angles by the number of sides of the polygon:

\begin{gathered} S_{20}=a_{20}\cdot n \\ S_{20}=18\cdot20 \\ S_{20}=360\degree \end{gathered}

Therefore the sum is equal to 360°, correct option: B.

(The sum of exterior angles of a polygon with n sides is always equal to 360°)
