<h3>Answer: x = 7</h3>

Explanation:

Segment addition postulate

CD+DE = CE

this basically is the idea of gluing smaller pieces together to get a larger structure. We can go in reverse to break up a large item into smaller bits. This is assuming there is no leftovers, overlaps, or parts wasted/lost.

CD = 9

DE = 3x+6

CE = 36

----

CD+DE = CE

9+3x+6 = 36

3x+15 = 36

3x = 36-15

3x = 21

x = 21/3

x = 7

-----

If x = 7, then

DE = 3x+6 = 3*7+6 = 21+6 = 27

and

CD+DE = 9+27 = 36 = CE

confirming our answer

A polygon has n sides. Two of its sides are right angle while the remaining each side is 144.find n​
deff fn [24]
Use the formula that states that the sum of the angles of an n-sided polygon is given by
S=(n−2)180
0
........(1)

Since we are given that the two angles are right angles and each of the remaining angles is 144
0
, therefore, the sum is:

S=90
0
+90
0
+(n−2)144
0
.........(2)

Therefore setting (2) equal to (1) we get

(n−2)180
0
=90
0
+90
0
+(n−2)144
0

⇒(n−2)180
0
−(n−2)144
0
=180
0

⇒(n−2)(180
0
−144
0
)=180
0

⇒(n−2)(36
0
)=180
0

⇒n−2=
36
180
​

⇒n−2=5
⇒n=5+2=7

Hence, the polygon has 7 sides.
