Answer:

The perimeter of the base of the birdhouse is 36 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

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

$x+y=180^o$ ----> equation A

we have that

the measure of the interior angle is twice the measure of the exterior angle

so

$x=2y$ ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

$2y+y=180$

$y=60^o$

so

$x=120^o$

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

$b=12/2=6\ units$

The perimeter of the hexagon is given by the formula

$P=6b$

substitute

$P=6(6)=36\ units$

Solve the system by substitution. y = 2x 3x + 2y = 21

7nadin3 [17]

Y=2x
3x+2y=21
3x+2(2x)=21
3x+4x=21
7x=21
x=3
y=2(3)
y=6

Solve the quadratic equation by completing the square. x²–2x-12=0

inn [45]

Answer:

$(x-1)^2-13=0$

$x = \sqrt{13}+1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Completing the square is a method of rewriting a quadratic equation in the standard form such that it is in vertex form. The first step is to group the linear and quadratic terms, then factor out the coefficient of the quadratic term. After doing so, complete the square, add a value such that the linear and quadratic terms form a perfect square trinomial. Do not forget to balance the equation. The final step is to simplify.

$x^2-2x-12=0$
