Answer:
There are five triangles in a heptagon. A heptagon is a seven-sided polygon.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a classic math problem, and it is not solved in a normal way.
<span>1+4=5
2+5=12
3+6=21
8+11=?
There is a pattern that can be spotted. 2+5 does not equal twelve, however 2*(2+5) does equal 12. Below is how to solve the rest of the equations:
</span>1+4=5 -> 1*(4+1)=5
2+5=12 -> 2*(5+1)=12
3+6=21 -> <span>3*(6+1)=21 </span>
8+11=? -> <span>8*(11+1)=96
</span>
This is one way to answer the problem, HOWEVER there is another way to answer the problem that gives the SAME answer, but many people mistakenly believes it gives a different answer. If anyone tries to post the other way of doing this problem, but tells you the answer is 40, please comment on this post or message me and let me know. I will explain why the answer is actually 96 either way.
The slope of the line passing through (1,-5) and (4,1) is 2
Answer:
Let x rep the lenght of the shorter one
Then the longer one is 2x+1
Therefore
(2x+1) + x = 16
We now solve for x
2x + 1 + x = 16
Group and evaluate like terms
3x +1 = 16
3x = 16 -1
× = 15/3
x = 5
So the shorter one is 5 ft
The longer one is 2(5)+1= 11
