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°.

viva [34]

Answer:

The Qn aint correct

it would make more sense if the figures invested where different

8% of 19k + 9% of 19k =1620

the figures are the same so even if we shifted the first 19k to the second side of 9% still it could make no sense(remain the same)

Answer questions 15 and 17 show work pls
fredd [130]

Answer:

#15) B. 30 mn^5

#17) B. 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>#15:</h2>

The area of a trapezoid is given in the formula: 1/2(a + b) * h, where a is the length of the top of the trapezoid, b is the length of the bottom of the trapezoid, and h is the height of the trapezoid.

All of these measurements are given so all that you need to do is to substitute these values into the formula.

Substitute 3 for a, 9 for b, and 5 for h.

  • 1/2(3 + 9) * 5

Solve inside the parentheses first. Add 3 and 9.

  • 1/2(12) * 5

Multiply 12 and 1/2 together.

  • 6 * 5

Multiply 6 and 5.

  • 30

We need to figure out if the area is to the 5th or 6th power. When we added 3 and 9 together, we combined like terms so the exponent stayed to the 3rd power.

After multiplying this ^3 by the 5mn^2, the exponent becomes to the 5th power because you add exponents when multiplying.

Therefore the final answer is B. 30 mn^5.

<h2>#17:</h2>

When going down from 32 to 8 to 2, you can see that each number is being divided by 4.

32 / 4 = 8...

8 / 4 = 2...

So to find the next number in this sequence you would divide 2 by 4.

  • 2 / 4 = 1/2

The answer is B. 1/2.

Solve for x. Show your work with proper statements and notation.
9966 [12]

Answer:

x = 26

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles around point O = 360°, thus

x + 3x + 256 = 360 , that is

4x + 256 = 360 ( subtract 256 from both sides )

4x = 104 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 26

Please help me answer thanks.
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that M is directly proportional to r³ then the equation relating them is

M = kr³  ← k is the constant of proportion

To find k use the condition when r = 4, M = 160, thus

160 = k × 4³ = 64k ( divide both sides by 64 )

2.5 = k

M = 2.5r³ ← equation of variation

(a)

When r = 2, then

M = 2.5 × 2³ = 2.5 × 8 = 20

(b)

When M = 540, then

540 = 2.5r³ ( divide both sides by 2.5 )_

216 = r³ ( take the cube root of both sides )

r = \sqrt[3]{216} = 6

My homework is due soon, help!!
Fantom [35]

Answer:

50.24

Step-by-step explanation:

A = Area

Radius = 4 (The radius is half of the diameter

Diameter = 8

Pie = 3.14

A = (pie)r^2

A = (3.14)4^2

A = (3.14)16

A = 50.24
