the sum of the angles in an ngon (a polygon with n sides) is (n-2)*180
so an octagon has 8 sides and has a sum total of (8-2)*180=1080 degrees
if each of 7 angles is 132, then 1080=?+7*132
1080=?+924
156=?
the 8th angle is 156 degrees
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given</u>
<u>Substitute and solve for n:</u>
- 42 = n² + n
- n² + 2*1/2n + 1/4 = 42.25
- (n + 0.5)² = 42.25
- n + 0.5 = √42.25
- n + 0.5 = 6.5
- n = 6
Correct option is C
Answer:
approximation is often useful when it is not a very good one
To answer this, you need to know the general form of an absolute value function. the equation for this is f(x<span>) = </span>a|x<span> - </span>h<span>| + </span>k, and in this equation, the vertex is (h, k).
with that information, you can see that your vertex will be (-5, 7). you must take the negative for 5 because the general equation states that your h value is usually subtracted from x. to check your vertex, try plugging it into your general equation:
f(x) = a|x - (-5)| + 7
f(x) = a|x + 5| + 7 ... you see that this matches your given equation. this last part here was just to show why your 5 must be negative; your answer is bolded.
