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°.

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

The answer is "12 inches".

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the image file of the graph.

We know AE = CF \ and \ EB = FB so because the triangle is isosceles.

EB = 2x, FB = 2x,\ and \ CF = x when AE is called by x.

We know that AE = AD = x since E and D are tangent points to a circle.

They have CD = CF = x since D and F are tangent points only to circle.

Thus, if the perimeter is 32, the following is the result:

\to AE + EB + BF + FC + CD + DA = 32\\\\\to x + 2x + 2x + x + x + x = 32\\\\\to 8x = 32\\\\\to x = 4

Therefore the length of BC = BF + FC = 2x + x = 3x = 12\  inches

Test the claim that the proportion of men who own cats is smaller than 70% at the 0.05 significance level. The null and alternat
Ghella [55]

Answer:

the null hypothesis would be: p = 70%/0.7

The alternative hypothesis would be: p < 0.7

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis is most of the time always the default statement while the alternative hypothesis is tested against the null and is its opposite.

In this case study the null hypothesis would be: the proportion of men who own cats is 70%: p = 0.7

The alternative hypothesis would be: the proportion of men who own cats is smaller than 70% : p < 0.7
