Explain how the formula for finding the sum of the interior angle measures of a polygon is derived.

Mathematics

Sholpan [36]4 years ago

Explanation:

Here's one way:

Choose a point P interior to the polygon and draw a segment from that point to each vertex. These segments will divide an n-sided polygon into n triangles. These will have a total angle measure of ...

  total interior angles of n triangles = 180°×n

The n angles having a vertex at point P have a sum of 360°. Subtracting this total from the total of all triangles gives the sum of interior angles around the perimeter of the polygon: 180°×n - 360° = 180°×(n -2).

A line passes through (4, 5) and (8, 9). Which equation best represents the line?
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

that is the equation of the line, its slope is 1 and the y-intercept is 1 y = x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

we can calculate the slope of this line passing through (4,5) and (8,9) like this:

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (9 - 5)/(8 - 4)

m = 4/4

m = 1

so the slope is 1, and now we can use the equation of one point and the slope to write the line's equation:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = 1*(x - 4)

y - 5 = x - 4

y = x + 1

that is the equation of the line, its slope is 1 and the y-intercept is 1

Someone help me please !!!
KIM [24]

Answer:

1. 10

2. 12

3. Sqrt 130

4. Sqrt 45

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the missing side of a right triangle, use the Pythagorean Theorem. The Pythagorean Theorem is a^2+b^2=c^2 where a and b are the legs with a being the smallest and c is the hypotenuse.

1. a=6, b=8, c=?

6^2+8^2=c^2\\36+64=c^2\\100=c^2\\10=c

2. a=5, b=?, c=13

5^2+b^2=13^2\\25+b^2=169\\169-25=b^2\\144=b^2\\12=b

3. a=7, b=9, c=?

7^2+9^2=c^2\\49+81=c^2\\130=c^2\\\sqrt{130}=c

4. a=2, b=?, c=7

2^2+b^2=7^2\\4+b^2=49\\49-4=b^2\\45=b^2\\\sqrt{45}=b
