Answer:

125°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is

sum = 180° (n - 2) ← n is the number of sides

Here n = 8 (octagon), thus

sum = 180° × 6 = 1080°

let x represent one of the equal angles, then

3x + 705 = 1080 ( subtract 705 from both sides )

3x = 375 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 125

Thus the size of one equal angle = 125°

TIMED QUESTION NEED HELP FASTWhat values of b satisfy 3(2b + 3)2 = 36?

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

$\frac{-3+ 2\sqrt{3}}{2}\textrm{ and }\frac{-3- 2\sqrt{3}}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$3(2b+3)^{2}=36\\\frac{3(2b+3)^{2}}{3}=\frac{36}{3}\\(2b+3)^{2}=12$

Taking square root both sides, we get

$\sqrt{(2b+3)^{2}}=\pm \sqrt{12}\\2b+3=\pm \sqrt{4\times 3}\\2b+3=\pm 2\sqrt{3}\\2b+3-3=\pm 2\sqrt{3}-3\\2b=-3\pm 2\sqrt{3}\\b=\frac{-3\pm 2\sqrt{3}}{2}\\b=\frac{-3+ 2\sqrt{3}}{2}\textrm{ or }b=\frac{-3- 2\sqrt{3}}{2}$

Therefore, the values of $b$ are:

$\frac{-3+ 2\sqrt{3}}{2}\textrm{ and }\frac{-3- 2\sqrt{3}}{2}$

There are around 6,678,000 households with pet rabbits in the United States. There are about 126.2 million households in the U.S

Ksju [112]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the household with pet rabbits by the total number of household in the U.S. to get the proportion of U.S. households with pet rabbits. Then, convert the proportion to a percentage.

6,678,000/126,200,000 ≈ 0.05 = 5%

write an equation for a function at has a graph with the given characteristics. the shape of y=|x| is reflected across the y-axi

Luba_88 [7]

Refrection across the y-axis changes the function to y = |-x|.
Vertical stretch by a factor of 1.5 changes the graph to y = 1.5|-x|
Shifting the graph by 4 units downward changes the graph to y = 1.5|-x| - 4

Required equation is y = 1.5|-x| - 4

The circumference of a circle is 65?. In terms of pi, what is the area of the circle?

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

1056.25π square units

Step-by-step explanation:

A few formulas an definitions which will help us:

(1) $\pi=\frac{c}{d}$ , where c is the circumference of a circle and d is its diameter

(2) $A=\pi r^2$ , where A is the area of a circle with radius r. To put it in terms of d, remember that a circle's diameter is simply twice its radius, or mathematically, (3) $d=2r \rightarrow r=\frac{d}{2}$ .

We can rearrange equation (1) to put d in terms of π and c, giving us (4) $d = \frac{c}{\pi}$ , and we can make a few substitutions in (2) using (3) and (4) to get use the area in terms of the circumference and π:

$A=\pi r^2\\=\pi\left(\frac{d}{2}\right)^2\\=\pi\left(\frac{d^2}{4}\right)\\=\pi\left(\frac{(c/\pi)^2}{4}\right)\\=\pi\left(\frac{c^2/\pi^2}{4}\right)\\=\pi\left(\frac{c^2}{4\pi^2}\right)\\\\=\frac{\pi c^2}{4\pi^2}\\ =\frac{c^2}{4\pi}$

We can now substitute c for our circumference, 65, to get our answer in terms of π:

$A=\dfrac{65^2}{4\pi}=\dfrac{4225}{4\pi}=1056.25\pi$
