Answer:
= 12
Step-by-step explanation:
The shape ABCDEF is an irregular polygon.
The sum of the interior angles of any regular or irregular polygon = (n - 2) x 180 (where n is the number of sides of the polygon).
Therefore, the sum of the interior angles of shape ABCDEF = (6 - 2) x 180 = 720°
So to find the value of , we need to add together all the interior angles and equal it to 720, then solve for
.
Before we do that, we need to determine angle F.
From inspection, we can see that angle F and 52° are a linear pair. We know that a linear pair of angles add up to 180°, so F + 52 = 180 ⇒ F = 180 - 52 = 128°
Therefore:
A + B + C + D + E + F = 720
(10 - 5) + 108 + (8
- 3) + (14
- 25) + 133 + 128 = 720
Collect like terms:
10 + 8
+ 14
- 5 + 108 - 3 - 25 + 133 + 128 = 720
Combine like terms:
32 + 336 = 720
Subtract 336 from both sides:
32 = 384
Divide both sides by 32:
= 12
Answer: BC = 5.83
Step-by-step explanation:
Luckily, the triangle is placed on the graph nicely so we can count the legs of the triangle:
AB = 5
AC = 3
BC = ?
To find BC, we can simply use the Pythagorean Theorem:
5^2 + 3^2 = c^2
25 + 9 = c^2
34 = c^2
Now square root to find c, or BC.
c = 5.83 (rounded by nearest hundredth)
