Answer:

Hence by induction proved for all natural numbers n.

Step-by-step explanation:

we are to Prove with induction that all ​convex​ polygons with n≥3 sides have interior angles that add up to (n-2)·180 degrees.

Starting from triangle we can assume that angles of a triangle add up to 180

Imagine one side say AB.  From A and B two lines are drawn to meet at D

Now BADC is a quadrilateral.  The sum of angles of a quadrilateral would be sum of angles of two triangles namely ABC and BDC.  hence these add up to 360.

Thus when we make n from 3 to 4 this is true.

Let us assume for n sides sum of angles is (n-2)180 degrees. Take one side vertices and draw two lines so that the polygon is n+1 sided.  Now the total angles would be the sum of angles of original polygon+angles of new triangle = (n-2)180+1 = (n+1-2)180

Thus if true for n it is true for n+1.  Already true for 3 and 4.

Hence by induction proved for all natural numbers n.

Change 1.234 to a percent
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

1.234 / 100  =  0.01234

Therefore;

0.01234 x purchase price = profit

same as

purchase price  / 1.01234  = profit

formula    Cost or initial Price   x    (  % / 100 )

and show % as a  whole number ie ) 1.234 / 100 = 0.01234

= cip x 1.01234 = profit

When we divide by 100 the 1 moves two spaces to the right.

when we have to find initial price from given sale price

we deduct given percentage from 100% and use that to multiply with instead omitting the 1 if its depreciating or adding the 1 if its original price ticket.
