Answer:

Sum of the interior angles = (n-2) x 180°

where

n is the number of sides of the polygon

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the sum of the interior angles of a polygon is:

sum=(n-2)*180

where

sum is the sum of the interior angle of the polygon

n is the number of polygons

Let's check the formula using an example:

We want to find the sum of the interior angles of a square, we know that a square has 4 sides, so n=4.

Replacing values

sum=(4-2)*180

sum=(2)*180

sum=360

We can apply the same procedure to any convex polygon with n sides.

Answer:

  • <em>The fomula for the sum of the interior angles of a polygon is:</em>

         Sum of the interior angles = (n - 2) × 180°.

         Where n is the number of sides of the polygon.

Explanation:

The formula (n - 2) × 180° is valid for any convex <em>polygon</em>.

A convex polygon is one whose interior angles (every interior angle) measure less than 180°.

You can prove and remember that formula following this reasoning:

  • If you pick one vertex of the polygon you can build  (n - 2) diagonals, and so split the figure into n - 2 triangles.

  • Since, the sum of the interior angles of any trianle is 180°, the sum of the total angles is (n - 2) × 180°. And this is the formula for the sum of the interior angles of a polygon.

For example, for a pentagon, a polygon with 5 sides, you can can draw 5 - 2 = 3 diagonals from one vertex, and so obtain 3 triangles. Then the sum of the interior angles shall be (n - 2) × 180° = (5 - 2) × 180° = 3 × 180° = 540°.

Integration Rule [Reverse Power Rule]:                                                                   \displaystyle \int {x^n} \, dx = \frac{x^{n + 1}}{n + 1} + C

Integration Property [Multiplied Constant]:                                                             \displaystyle \int {cf(x)} \, dx = c \int {f(x)} \, dx

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify</em>

Point (0, 18)

\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{1}{8} t

<u>Step 2: Find General Solution</u>

<em>Use integration</em>

  1. [Derivative] Rewrite:                                                                                         \displaystyle dy = \frac{1}{8} t\ dt
  2. [Equality Property] Integrate both sides:                                                        \displaystyle \int dy = \int {\frac{1}{8} t} \, dt
  3. [Left Integral] Integrate [Integration Rule - Reverse Power Rule]:                 \displaystyle y = \int {\frac{1}{8} t} \, dt
  4. [Right Integral] Rewrite [Integration Property - Multiplied Constant]:           \displaystyle y = \frac{1}{8}\int {t} \, dt
  5. [Right Integral] Integrate [Integration Rule - Reverse Power Rule]:              \displaystyle y = \frac{1}{8}(\frac{t^2}{2}) + C
  6. Multiply:                                                                                                             \displaystyle y = \frac{t^2}{16} + C

<u>Step 3: Find Particular Solution</u>

  1. Substitute in point [Function]:                                                                         \displaystyle 18 = \frac{0^2}{16} + C
  2. Simplify:                                                                                                             \displaystyle 18 = 0 + C
  3. Add:                                                                                                                   \displaystyle 18 = C
  4. Rewrite:                                                                                                             \displaystyle C = 18
  5. Substitute in <em>C</em> [Function]:                                                                                \displaystyle y = \frac{t^2}{16} + 18

The circumference of a circle is 18.84 miles. What is the circle's radius? C=18.84
Mama L [17]
We can find the radius by using the formula: C = 2(pi)(r)
We'll use 3.14 for pi.

And solve for r.

18.84 = 2(3.14)r ; Start
18.84 = 6.28r      ; Multiply 3.14 by 2
3 = r                     ; Divide both sides by the coefficient of r. Which is 6.28

So, the radius is 3 miles.
