Four grey polygons join together as shown in the diagram. I’ve calculated angle a but I don’t know angle b. Angle a is 108

Answer:

Part 1) a=108^o

Part 2) b=24^o

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Find the measure of angle a

we know that

The formula to calculate the measure of the interior angle of a regular polygon is equal to

\frac{180^o(n-2)}{n}

where

n is the number of sides of the regular polygon

For the regular pentagon in the figure

n=5

substitute in the formula

a=\frac{180^o(5-2)}{5}

a=\frac{180^o(3)}{5}

a=108^o

Part 2) Find the measure of angle b

Remember that a regular polygon has equal sides and equal interior angles

so

In the figure , the length of the side of the two smaller equilateral triangles is equal to the length of the side of the regular pentagon

therefore

The triangle in white of the figure is an isosceles triangle

The measure of the vertex angle of the isosceles triangle is equal to

360^o-(108^o+60^o+60^o)=132^o

Remember that

The sum of the interior angles of triangle must be equal to 180 degrees

so

2b+132^o=180^o

solve for b

2b=180^o-132^o

2b=48^o

b=24^o

PLEASE HELP FAST!! WILL MARK AS BRAINLIEST IF GIVEN GOOD ANSWER ​
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

80 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

both intersections are the same, so we can count them as one. We notice that one line is a straight line compared to other so we can subtract 100 from 180 and get 80

Tickets to a school play cost $2 if bought in advance and $3 at the door. By selling all 400 tickets, $1030 was collected. First
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

170 tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Write formulas for the question.

N_2+N_3=400

2N_2+3N_3=1030

Then use substitution.

N_2=-N_3+400

2(-N_3+400)+3N_3=1030

-2N_3+800+3N_3=1030

N_3=230

So number of $3 tickets sold is 230. But they ask for the tickets bought in advance (i.e. the tickets sold for $2). Use substitution again.

N_2+230=400\\N_2=400-230\\N_2=170

Answer:

Total cost = f + ad

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of days = d

Fixed charges = f

Cost per day = a

Find:

Equation

Computation:

Total cost = fixed cost + (Number of days)(Cost per day)

Total cost = f + ad

Which measurements for the capacity of the ice cream carton?
nalin [4]

Answer:

  • 1 cup
  • 1 gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

In retail grocery stores in the US, you can find ice cream packaged in sizes of 1 cup (half pint), 1 pint, 1 quart, 1/2 gallon, 1 gallon, and perhaps some odd sizes in between. For commercial purposes, ice cream may be packaged in tubs of 3- or 5-gallons or more.

1 teaspoon would be an unusually small size, and 1 mL is about 1/5 of a teaspoon. These quantities are somewhat smaller than would be considered a "serving" of ice cream, so would generally be of little practical use.
