The exterior angles of a regular n-gon add up to 360º; here n = 9, so each exterior angle has measure (360/9)º = 40º.

Corresponding interior angles are supplementary to exterior angles (they add to 180º), so each interior angle has measure (180 - 40)º = 140º.

Bisect this angle by connecting any given vertex to the center of the nonagon. These connections split up the nonagon into 9 congruent isosceles triangles, each of which have base angles of 70º.

Split each triangle in half to make a total of 18 70º-20º-90º triangles with height h and base b. Then

sin70º = h/7 ==> h = 6.578

sin20º = b/7 ==> b = 2.394

and each right triangle has an area of approximately 1/2 b h = 7.874.

Multiply this by 18 to get the area of the nonagon: 141.7.

After a dreary day of rain, the sun peeks through the clouds and a rainbow forms. You notice the rainbow is the shape of a parab

We can answer the first part of the question not taking intersecting function into account. The domain of $y=-x^{2}+36$ is all the numbers, x∈(-∞, +∞) and the range is y∈(-∞, 36]. We can observe these results with the help of a graph, as well. Since we are talking about the rainbow, the values above the ground level will make sense. In this case, we will take into account the range as it changes between 0 and 36, included and the domain between -6 and 6. Here (0;36) is the y-intercept and (-6;0) and (6;0) are the x-intercepts of the parabola.

Since in our problem, the linear function that intersects parabola is not given, we have to provide it by ourselves according to the conditions of the problem. It could be any line intersecting parabola in two points. One important point is that the y-intercept has to be no more than 36. Considering these conditions, we can set our linear function to be $y=0.5x+5$ . We can observe the points that we included in the table (they have been given with orange dots in the graph and the table is attached below). We can see that the values of the function (values of y) are positive. Indeed, we are discussing the part of the rainbow above the ground level.

The system of equations with linear and quadratic functions has got two solutions and we can observe that result from the graph. The solutions are (-5.823; 2.088) and (5.323; 7.662). The solutions are the intersection points.
