Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The complete question is</em></u>
Chase is building a birdhouse in the shape of a regular polygon. He knows that the measure of the interior angle is twice the measure of the exterior angle and the length of a diagonal that passes through the center is 12. What is the perimeter of the base of the birdhouse?
step 1
Find the measure of the interior angle
Let
x ---> the measure of the interior angle
y ---> the measure of the exterior angle
Remember that
the sum of the interior and exterior angle in any polygon is equal to 180 degrees
so
----> equation A
we have that
the measure of the interior angle is twice the measure of the exterior angle
so
----> equation B
substitute equation B in equation A
so
That means-----> The figure is a regular hexagon
step 2
Remember that
The length of the diagonal that passes through the center of the hexagon is equal to two times the length of the regular hexagon
Let
b ----> the length side of the hexagon
so
The perimeter of the hexagon is given by the formula
substitute
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
(a) A natural number that is greater than 25 and less than 40
Natural Number : These are numbers starting from 1 or also sometimes from zero and are all positive ! A natural greater than 25 & less than 40 is 30 .
(b) An integer which is less than -5 and a multiple of 2
Integer : An integer is a whole number not a fraction including 0 . It can be positive or negative ! Integer less than -5 and a multiple of 2 is -6.
(c) A rational number between 1 and 2
Rational Number : A number which can be expressed in form of p/q where q is not equal to 0 . A rational number between 1 & 2 is 3/2 .
(d) An irrational number between 8 and 9.
Irrational Number: A real number which is not rational or can't be written in form of p/q . An irrational number between 8 & 9 is .
