<h3>Given</h3>

regular polygons with 5, 16, and 12 sides

the measures of each interior and exterior angle

<h3>Solution</h3>

The sum of exterior angles is 360° for any convex polygon. For a regular n-agon, the measure of an exterior angle is 360°/n. The corresponding interior angle is its supplement.

(a) pentagon. Exterior angle: 72°; Interior angle: 108°.

(b) 16-gon. Exterior angle: 22.5°; Interior angle: 157.5°.

(c) dodecagon. Exterior angle: 30°; Interior angle: 150°.

ANSWER

$( \frac{2}{3} , \frac{1}{5} )$

EXPLANATION

The first equation is

$\frac{1}{2} x - \frac{3}{4} y = \frac{11}{60} ...(1)$

The second equation is

$\frac{2}{5} x + \frac{1}{6} y = \frac{3}{10} ...(2)$

We want to eliminate y, so we multiply the first equation by

$\frac{4}{5}$

$\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{1}{2} x - \frac{4}{5} \times \frac{3}{4} y = \frac{11}{60} \times \frac{4}{5}$

$\frac{2}{5} x - \frac{3}{5} y = \frac{11}{75} ...(3)$

We now subtract equation (3) from (2)

$(\frac{2}{3} x - \frac{2}{3} x )+ ( \frac{1}{6} y - - \frac{3}{5}y ) =( \frac{3}{10} - \frac{11}{75} )$

$\frac{1}{6} y + \frac{3}{5}y =\frac{3}{10} - \frac{11}{75}$

$\frac{23}{30}y = \frac{23}{150}$

Multiply both sides by

$\frac{30}{23}$

$\implies \: \frac{30}{23} \times \frac{23}{30}y= \frac{23}{150} \times \frac{30}{23}$

$\implies \: y = \frac{1}{5}$

Substitute into the first equation to solve for x .

$\frac{1}{2} x - \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{5} = \frac{11}{60}$

Multiply to obtain

$\frac{1}{2} x - \frac{3}{20} = \frac{11}{60}$

$\frac{1}{2} x = \frac{11}{60} + \frac{3}{20}$

$\frac{1}{2} x = \frac{1}{3}$

Multiply both sides by 2.

$2 \times \frac{1}{2} x =2 \times \frac{1}{3}$

$x = \frac{2}{3}$

The solution is

$( \frac{2}{3} , \frac{1}{5} )$

How to find 4 times (-5)

vfiekz [6]

Answer: -20

Step-by-step explanation: Using the same expression except positive numbers, 4 x 5 = 20.

In this case, we can use this equation to find the product for the expression

4 x -5.

If 4 x 5 = 20, then 4 times -5 will also equal 20. However, since there is a negative factor in this expression, our answer will be negative causing our answer to be <u>-20.</u>
