Find the measure of an exterior angle of a regular polygon with 20 sides. Round to the nearest tenth ?

To find the interior angle, you use the formula ((n - 2) x 180) / n (where n is the number of sides).
So, ((20 - 2) x 180) / 20 = 162
To find the exterior angle, you merely take away the interior angle from 180.
180 - 162 = 18, so the exterior angle is 18 degrees

Another, easier, way is to just divide 360 by n. All exterior angles always add to 360. Thus, 360 / 20 = 18 degrees

Exterior angles always add up to 360°

Given that there are 20 sides sides
⇒ 1 exterior angle = 360 ÷ 20 = 18°

Answer: 18°

ABC has the points A(1,7) B(-2,2) and C(4,2) as it’s vertices

tekilochka [14]

Part 1

Using the distance formula,

$AB=\sqrt{(-2-1)^{2}+(2-7)^{2}}=\sqrt{34}\\\\BC=\sqrt{(-2-4)^{2}+(2-2)^{2}}=6\\\\AC=\sqrt{(1-4)^{2}+(7-2)^{2}}=\sqrt{34}$

So, the measure of the longest side is 6 units.

Part 2

Triangle ABD will have vertices A(1,7), B(-2, 2), and D(1,2).

We already know that $AB=\sqrt{34}$

Using the distance formula,

$AD=\sqrt{(1-1)^{2}+(7-2)^{2}}=5\\\\BD=\sqrt{(-2-1)^{2}+(2-2)^{2}}=3$

So, ABD is a scalene triangle.

Part 3

From part 2, we know that the length of side AD is 5 units.

Simplify 18 - 2[x + (x - 5)].

Phoenix [80]

First, distribute what's inside the parenthesis, and change all the subtractions to addition of negatives.

18 + -2 (x^2 + - 5x)

Next distribute the -2

18 + -2x^2 + 10x

Then I like to rearrange stuff to put it in standard form.

-2x^2 + 10x + 18
