How is the formula for finding the sum of interior angle measures of polygons dervived

Mathematics
1 answer:
SSSSS [86.1K]3 years ago
8 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw lines from one vertex to the other vertices, splitting the polygon into triangles.  If the polygon has n sides, there will be n−2 triangles.  Each triangle's angles add up to 180°.  So the sum of all the interior angles is:

S = (n−2) 180°

Mark invests $8,008 in a retirement account with a fixed annual interest rate of 2% compounded 6 times per year. What will the a
love history [14]

Given:

Principal value = $8,008

Rate of interest = 2% compounded 6 times per year.

Time = 16 years

To find:

The account balance after 16 years.

Solution:

The formula for amount is:

A=P\left(1+\dfrac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}

Where, P is principal, r is the rate of interest, n is the number of times interest compounded in an year and t is the number of years.

Putting P=8,008, r=0.02,n=6,t=16 in the above formula, we get

A=8008\left(1+\dfrac{0.02}{6}\right)^{6(16)}

A=8008\left(\dfrac{6.02}{6}\right)^{96}

A=11022.1721148

A\approx 11022.17

Therefore, the account balance after 16 years is $11022.17.

A craftsman is making a dulcimer with the same dimensions as the one shown. The surface shown requires a special, more durable t
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

\displaystyle A=\frac{3h^2}{2}+h

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Area of trapezoid</u>

Given a trapezoid shape whose parallel sides measure b1 and b2 and whose height (perpendicular to the base) is h, then the area of the trapezoid is given by

\displaystyle A=\frac{b_1+b_2}{2}\cdot h

The dulcimer has the following dimensions

b_1=2h+1

b_2=h+1

and height h

Thus

\displaystyle A=\frac{2h+1+h+1}{2}\cdot h=\frac{3h+2}{2}\cdot h

Operating

\displaystyle A=\frac{3h^2+2h}{2}=\frac{3h^2}{2}+h

\boxed{A=\frac{3h^2}{2}+h}

Is the required polynomial

If your score on your next statistics test is converted to a z​ score, which of these z scores would you​ prefer: minus−​2.00, m
Gemiola [76]
The answer is z score of 2.00 is most desirable because it is 2.00 standard deviations beyond the mean and would agree to the highest of the five diverse likely test scores. In addition, the number of standard deviations that a given value x is above or below the mean is the z score or as called as standardized value. The negative z score agrees to an x value less than the mean while a positive z score agrees to an x value larger than the mean. The more negative the z score the more the x value is under the mean and the further positive the z score the more the x value is below the mean.
