The measure of one angle of an octagon is two times smaller that of the other seven angles. What is the measure of each angle?

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

7 of the angles measure 144 degrees each and one angle measures 72 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> represent the measures of the seven same-size angles,

x/2 ----> represent the measure of the one that is "two times smaller."

we know that

The sum of internal angles of a polygon can be calculated as:

$S=180^o(n-2)$

where

n is the number of sides of the polygon

In this case

n=8 (octagon)

substitute

$S=180^o(8-2)=1,080^o$

so

The linear equation that represent this problem is

$\frac{x}{2}+7x=1,080$

solve for x

$\frac{15x}{2}=1,080\\\\15x=2,160\\\\x=144^o$

so

$\frac{x}{2}=72^o$

therefore

7 of the angles measure 144 degrees each and one angle measures 72 degrees

A dump truck brought 1⁄3 of a ton of rock on the first trip, 1⁄2 of a ton on the second trip, but on the third trip, had to take

Allisa [31]

Answer:

1/30 of a ton

Step-by-step explanation:

Write this as an expression:

1/3 of a ton and 1/2 of a ton were taken to the site.

4/5 of a ton were remove from the site.

Amount of a ton at the site = $\frac{1}{3}+ \frac{1}{2}- \frac{4}{5}$

Solve the equation by finding common denominators (when the bottom numbers are the same).

$(\frac{1}{3}+ \frac{1}{2})- \frac{4}{5}$ Focus on the first part. The least common multiple (LCM) of 3 and 2 is "6", which will become the denominator.

For 1/3 to become ?/6, multiply top and bottom by 2.

For 1/2 to become ?/6, multiply top and bottom by 3.

$(\frac{2}{6}+ \frac{3}{6})- \frac{4}{5}$

Now we can add the numerators together over the same denominator.

$\frac{5}{6}- \frac{4}{5}$

Do the same thing as before and change the denominators. The LCM of 6 and 5 is "30".

For 5/6 to become ?/30, multiply top and bottom by 5.

For 4/5 to become ?/30, multiply top and bottom by 6.

$\frac{25}{30}- \frac{24}{30}$

Subtract the numerators:

$\frac{1}{30}$ Answer in tons

Therefore there was 1/30 of a ton of rock left at the construction site.
