Answer:

From the sum of angles on a straight line, given that the rotation of each triangle attached to the sides of the octagon is 45° as they move round the perimeter of the octagon, the angle a which is supplementary to the angle turned by the triangles must be 135 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the triangles are eight in number we have;

1)  (To simplify), we consider the five triangles on the left portion of the figure, starting from the bottom-most triangle which is inverted upside down

2) We note that to get to the topmost triangle which is upright , we count four triangles, which is four turns

3) Since the bottom-most triangle is upside down and the topmost triangle, we have made a turn of 180° to go from bottom to top

4) Therefore, the angle of each of the four turns we turned = 180°/4 = 45°

5) When we extend the side of the octagon that bounds the bottom-most triangle to the left to form a straight line, we see the 45° which is the angle formed between the base of the next triangle on the left and the straight line we drew

6) Knowing that the angles on a straight line sum to 180° we get interior angle in between the base of the next triangle on the left referred to above and the base of the bottom-most triangle as 180° - 45° = 135°.

Find the area of each triangle with the given heights and bases. a. h = 6 inches; b = 10 inches b. h = 9 centimeters; b = 4 cent
dsp73

The area of triangles is a. 30 inches²,   b.18 inches², and c. 130 yards² for the given triangles.

<h3>What is a triangle?</h3>

A triangle is a closed, 2-dimensional shape with 3 sides, 3 angles, and 3 vertices.

In a triangle, the sum of all three angles is 180°

Triangle is a very common figure to deal with our daily life for example in our daily life to measure the height of any tower then there is a huge application of the right angle triangle.

Area of a triangle = (1/2) × height × base

a) Given

h = 6 inches; b = 10 inches

Area = 6 × 10/2 = 30 inches².

b) Given

h = 9 centimeters; b = 4 centimeters

Area = 9 × 4/2 = 18 inches².

c) Given

h = 13 yards; b = 20 yards

Area = 13 × 20/2 = 130 yards².

Hence the area of triangles is a. 30 inches²,   b.18 inches², and c. 130 yards² .

5y+30 5 complete the factoring ...?
krek1111 [17]
Well, I don't really understand if it is 30 or 305 because of the spacing but I'll answer both. If it is 5y+305, just divide the whole equation by 5 and it will look like this (<u>5y+305)</u>  then the factor would be 5(y+61)<u>
</u>                   5 
If it is 5y+30 it would be just in the same process, Divide the equation by 5 and the result will be 5(y+6).
