Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If a shape has a cross section parallel to the base, the cross section will be the same as the base. In the case of a pyramid, it is simply on a smaller scale.

Given a regular decagon, find the measures of the angles formed by (

Sonja [21]

A decagon has 10 sides (think decade and decathlon). From the center of the decagon we draw the radii and in doing so we take the area of the decagon and divide it into 10 congruent Triangles.

The angles around the center add up to 360 because they form a circle and since there are 10, they each measure 36 degrees. So the answer to the first part (the angle between the radii) is 36 degrees.

Each of these triangles has two equal sides (both radii) so is Isosceles. That means that the base angles are congruent. So the two angles that are left in each triangle must measure the same. Since the angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees, we know that the two remaining angles are together equal to 180-36=144 degrees. Since they are equal in measure they each measure 72 degrees.

Thus the answer to the second part, trhe measure of the angle between a radius and the side of the polygon is 72 degrees.

How do I solve this STATS question?

k0ka [10]

We have the following data:

Margin of Error = E = 2.7 % = 0.027
Sample size = n = 900
Proportion of adults in favor = p = 60% = 0.6

We need to find the confidence level. For this first we need to find the z value.

The margin of error for a population proportion is given as:

$E=z* \sqrt{ \frac{p(1-p)}{n} }$

Using the values, we get:

$0.027=z* \sqrt{ \frac{0.6*0.4}{900} } \\ \\ 
0.027=z*0.016 \\ \\ 
z= \frac{0.027}{0.01633} \\ \\ 
z=1.65$

As, seen from the z table, z=1.65 corresponds to the confidence level 90%. So, the answer to this question is option B

The longer base of an isosceles trapezoid measures 22 ft. The nonparallel sides measure 8 ft, and the base angles measure 75°. F

Mamont248 [21]

Check the picture below

and recall that

$\bf sin(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}
\qquad
cos(\theta)=\cfrac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
sin(75^o)=\cfrac{y}{8}\implies 8sin(75^o)=y
\\\\\\
cos(75^o)=\cfrac{x}{8}\implies 8cos(75^o)=x$

Nitella [24]

Answer:

The exact solution for this equation would be (2.222, -11.889)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it told us to use a graphing calculator, I went on to desmos graphing calculator, typed in the equation, then I found out where the two line intersect, and then that was the answer.
