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°

Area of a triangle with verticals of (-4,1),(-7,5),(0,1)
Lynna [10]

Answer:

8 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume that the three points given are the vertices of the triangle. So the three points are:

A (-4,1)

B (-7,5)

C (0,1)

The area of a triangle is given by:

A=\frac{1}{2}bh

where b is the base and h is the height.

Here we can take as follows:

- We can take the base to be the side AC, so that its length is equal to the distance between the two points:

AC=\sqrt{(0-(-4))^2+(1-1)^2}=4

- The height of the triangle is therefore the perpendicular distance between AC and point B. This is equivalent the difference in the x-coordinate between any point on AC and B, so:

h=(5-1)=4 ft

Therefore, the area of the triangle is:

A=\frac{1}{2}(4)(4)=8 ft^2

The expression 3 ( 1 . 5 )^ t models the number of bacteria in a culture as a function of the number of hours since the culture
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3(1.5)^{t}

When the culture was created t = 0, thus

3(1.5)^{0} = 3 × 1 = 3

That is there were initially 3 bacteria in the culture → A

The equation of line a is y=12x−1, and it passes through point (6,2).
Triss [41]

Answer:

A). slope = -1/12         y-intercept = 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -1/12x + b

2 = -1/12(-6) + b

2 = 1/2 + b

3/2 = b

y = -1/12x + 3/2
