In the above figure, the angles a, b, c, d, e and f are the central angles of the hexagon. There are 6 central angles in a hexagon. The number of central angles in a polygon is always equal to the number of sides of the polygon.

As you can see in the figure above, all the central angles of the polygon together will always form a complete circle. Hence the central angles add up to 360° in all polygons. Since a regular polygon has all equal sides, the central angles in a regular polygon are also equal.

So to find the measure of the central angles of a regular polygon follow the steps below:

First identify the number of sides ‘n’.

Then divide 360° by n.

For example: say you need to find the central angle of a regular pentagon.

First identify the number of sides ‘n’: here n = 5

Then divide 360° by n: 360° ÷ 5 = 72°.

Conversely, you can also find the number of sides of a regular polygon, when the central angle is given, by dividing 360 by the central angle.

Note: In the case of an irregular polygon, since there is no clear center for an irregular polygon, it has no central angle.

there are n counters in a bag. 4 of the counters are red and the rest are blue. Ross takes a counter from the bag at random and

Ainat [17]

Answer: n = 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the bag, we have n counters.

4 of the counters are red.

the rest are blue, then we have:

(n - 4) blue counters.

Now, the probability that Ross takes a blue counter from the bag is equal to the quotient between the number of blue counters (n - 4) and the total number of counters, n

Then the probability is:

p1 = (n - 4)/n

Now he draws another, and it must be blue again, then we can calculate the probability in the same way as above, but he already take a blue counter, so the number of blue counters is (n - 5) and the total number of counters is (n - 1)

The probability of this event is:

p2 = (n - 5)/(n - 1)

The joint probability (the probability that Ross takes two blue counters) is equal to the product of the individual probabilities, and we know that this is equal to 1/3, then we have the equation:

1/3 = ( (n - 4)/n)*((n - 5)/(n - 1))

Now let's solve this for n.

n*(n - 1)/3 = (n - 4)*(n - 5)

(n^2 - n)/3 = n^2 - 4*n - 5*n + 20

n^2 - n = 3*(n^2 - 9*n + 20)

n^2 - n = 3*n^2 - 27*n + 60

0 = (3*n^2 - n^2) - 27*n + n + 60

0 = 2*n^2 - 26*n + 60

The two solutions of this equation can be found with Bhaskara's equation:

$n = \frac{-(-26) +- \sqrt{(-26)^2 - 4*2*60} }{2*2} = \frac{26+- 14}{4}$

Then the two solutions are:

n = (26 - 14)/4 = 3

This is not an option, because we know for sure that we have 4 red counters, then this option can be discarded.

The other solution is:

n = (26 + 14)/4 = 40/4 = 10

Then we have n = 10, 10 counters in total.
