How many sides does a polygon have if the sum of the measures of the interior angles is 3960

Answer: the polygon has 20 sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining the sum of the measure of the interior angles in a regular polygon is expressed as (n - 2) × 180.

if the sum of the measures of the interior angles is 3960

degrees. This means that

(n - 2) × 180 = 3960

Expanding the brackets by applying the distributive property, it becomes

180n - 360 = 3960

180n = 3960 - 360

180n = 3600

Dividing both sides by 180, it becomes

n = 3600/180

n = 20

Jerry has a miniature model of a boat. He knows that the boat is 3 3/4 inches wide and 5 1/2 inches long. What is the actual len
FromTheMoon [43]

Width of the miniature model = 3\frac{3}{4} inches

Length of the miniature model = 5\frac{1}{2} inches

The actual width of the boat = 15 feet

Let us find the actual length of the boat.

Write it in a proportion form.

width of model : length of model : : width of actual : length of actual

$\Rightarrow 3\frac{3}{4}:5\frac{1}{2}::15:x

$\Rightarrow\frac{15}{4}:\frac{11}{2}::15:x

$\Rightarrow\frac{\frac{15}{4}}{\frac{11}{2}} =\frac{15}{x}

Do cross multiplication.

$\Rightarrow{\frac{15}{4}x =15\times\frac{11}{2}

$\Rightarrow{\frac{15}{4}x =\frac{165}{2}

$\Rightarrow x =\frac{165}{2}\times{\frac{4}{15}

⇒ x = 22

Hence the actual length of the boat is 22 feet.

asambeis [7]

Answer:

8.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the pythagorean theorem: a2 + b2 = c2 a2 would be 24.1 and c2 would be 25.5. square them then subtract a2 from b2. then find the square root of your answer which is 8.3
