Mathematics

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°.

docker41 [41]

Answer:

64

Step-by-step explanation:

Marcello sells coupon books to his neighbors

4 neighbors each buy 2 coupon books

Each book have 8 coupons

Therefore the total number of coupons that all neighbors will get can be calculated as follows

Each neighbor will get 16 coupon

Hence the whole neighbors will get

16×4

= 64 coupons

The cells of a bacteria doubles in every 15 minutes. A scientist begins with a single cell. How many cells will be there after (
Anastaziya [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:-

  • 1 cell = 15 minutes

So, we can concert 15 minutes to hours.

So,

60 minutes = 1 hour

1 minute = 1/60

15 minutes =

\frac{15}{60}  = 0.25 \: hrs

Okay, now we will apply first for 0.4 hours.

0.25  \: hrs= 1 \: cell

1 \: hr =  \frac{1}{0.25}

0.4 \: hrs =  \frac{0.4}{0.25}

= 1.6 \: cells

= 16  \times  {10}^{ - 1} \: cells

Now, second one:-

10 \: hrs =  \frac{10}{0.25}

= 40 \: cells

= 0.4 \times  {10}^{2}  \: cells

Hope it helps :D
