Answer:

BC ≈ 19.4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the cosine ratio in the right triangle

cos71° = $\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{AB}{BC}$ = $\frac{6.3}{BC}$ ( multiply both sides by BC )

BC × cos71° = 6.3 ( divide both sides by cos71° )

BC = $\frac{6.3}{cos71}$ ≈ 19.4 cm ( to 3 significant figures )

For a triangle the area is given as:
$A=\frac{bh}{2}$

Re-arrange / solve for 'h':
$h=\frac{2A}{b}$

Substitute known values:
$h=\frac{2(60m^{2})}{15m}$

Compute:
$h=\frac{120m^{2}}{15m}$
$h=8m$

A regular polygon has an exterior angle of 8. what is the sum of all the interior angles

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

7740 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the exterior angles of all polygons add up to 360 degrees.

So the number of sides and the number of interior angles in this polygon = 360 / 8 = 45.

Each internal angle = 180 - 8 = 172 degrees, so the sum of all interior angles

= 172 * 45

= 7740 degrees,
