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°.

REY [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

a + a r + a r^2 + a r^3 + a r^4 + a r^5 + ar^6

a r^2 = 108

a r^5 =-32

r^5/r^2 = - 32/108 = -8/27

r^3 = -2^3/3^3 =

r = - 2/3

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that professional basketball players are born in different months with the same​ frequency.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we need to test whether there is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that professional basketball players are born in different months with the same​ frequency.

A Chi-square test for goodness of fit will be used in this case.

The hypothesis can be defined as:

<em>H₀</em>: The observed frequencies are same as the expected frequencies.

<em>Hₐ</em>: The observed frequencies are not same as the expected frequencies.

The test statistic is given as follows:

 \chi^{2}=\sum{\frac{(O-E)^{2}}{E}}

The values are computed in the table.

The test statistic value is \chi^{2}=128.12.

The degrees of freedom of the test is:

n - 1 = 12 - 1 = 11

Compute the <em>p</em>-value of the test as follows:

p-value < 0.00001

*Use a Chi-square table.

p-value < 0.00001 < α = 0.05.

So, the null hypothesis will be rejected at any significance level.

Thus, there is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that professional basketball players are born in different months with the same​ frequency.

How do i factorise this equation <br> 25x²-p²
kondaur [170]

You can write it in the form a^2 - b^2 where a = 5x and b = p

(5x)^2 - p^2

And then use the Difference of Squares a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b)

Answer is (5x + p)(5x - p)

Answer:

whichever of these formats you need its the same answer (16/6) or 2.66666 or (2 and 2/3rds)

Step-by-step explanation:

replace smaller variable with x for example

(x) + (5x-1) = 17

6x-1=17

6x=16

x=(16/6 or 2.666666 or 2and2/3)
