</span>
The direction David is rowing (upstream) is the positive direction. That makes the direction the river is flowing negative. David rows at 6 mph, but the river is flowing at 2 mph in the opposite direction. That means his "net" speed, relative to an observer on the ground, is 6-2 = 4 mph. He loses 1.5 mph of his speed every hour, so after x hours, his speed is 4-1.5x.

Determine the measure of an interior angle of the named regular polygon. If a side of the polygon is extended, determine the sup
ladessa [460]

Answer:

A) Each interior angle of the Regular Hexagon = 120°

B)The measure of the supplementary angle of an interior angle is  60°

Step-by-step explanation:

Regular Hexagon : A 6 sided polygon which has all 6 interior angles as  EQUAL is called a regular hexagon.

So, here are 6 interior angles of the hexagon are equal.

Also, Sum of all interior angles of an hexagon = 720°

Let us assume the each angle of the hexagon = m

⇒ m + m + m + m + m  + m = 720°

or, 6 m = 720°

or, m = 720° / 6 = 120°

⇒ Each interior angle of the Regular Hexagon = 120°

Now, a side is extended to form an exterior angle.

Let us assume the measure of that exterior angle  = k

⇒ k + m = 180 °   ( as k and m are SUPPLEMENTARY ANGLES)

or,  k = 180 - 120   = 60 °

or, k = 60 °

Hence,  the measure of the supplementary angle of an interior angle is  60°

3.1 Factorise completely<br><br>3.1.2 3x2 - 2x - 8​
Ugo [173]

Answer:

3x² – 2x – 8

=> 3x² – 6x + 4x – 8

=> 3x( x – 2 ) + 4( x – 2 )

=> ( 3x + 4 ) ( x – 2 )

Therefore,

Either, 3x + 4 = 0

3x = - 4

x = - 4/3 (Ans)

And,

x – 2 = 0

x = 2 (Ans)
