In the figure below, a shaded polygon, which has equal sides and equal angles, is partially covered with a sheet of blank paper.

If x + y = 80, how many sides
does the polygon have?

Answer:

The polygon has 9 sides ⇒ D

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a tricky question

∵ The shaded figure is a quadrilateral

∴ The sum of the measures of its angles is 360

∵ Its angles are <u>x, y, and two vertices of the polygon</u>

∵ All angles of the polygon are equal in mesures

∴ x + y + m of 2 vertices = 360°

∵ x + y = 80

→ Substitute the value of x + y above by 80

∴ 80 + m of 2 vertices = 360

→ Subtract 80 from both sides

∴ m of 2 vertices = 280

→ Divide the two sides by 2

∴ m of 1 vertex = 140°

∴ The measure of each angle of the polygon is 140°

<em>The sum of the measures of the </em><em>interior angle and the exterior angle</em><em> at any vertex of the polygon is </em><em>180°</em>

∵ m of interior ∠ + m of exterior ∠ = 180° ⇒ at any vertex

∴ 140 + m of exterior ∠ = 180°

→ Subtract 140 from both sides

∴ m of exterior ∠ = 40°

∴ The measure of each exterior angle is 40°

<em>The </em><em>sum </em><em>of the measures of the </em><em>exterior angles</em><em> of any polygon is </em><em>360°</em>

∵ The measure of each exterior angle of the given polygon is 40°

∴ The number of the angles of the polygon = 360 ÷ 40 = 9

∵ The number of the angles of the polygon = the number of its sides

∴ The polygon has 9 sides

Based on a​ poll, among adults who regret getting​ tattoos, 12​% say that they were too young when they got their tattoos. Assum
Tema [17]

Answer:

a.  0.6588

b. 0.3978

c. 0. 279

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given question the success and failure are given the number of outcomes is fixed so binomial distribution can be applied.

Here success=  p = 12 % or 12/100 = 0.12

failure = q= 1-p = 1-0.12 = 0.88

n= 10

Using binomial probability distribution

a. Probability that the number of selected adults saying they were too young is 0 or 1 is calculated as:

P (x=0,1) = 0.12 ⁰(0.88)¹⁰10 C0  + 0.12 (0.88)⁹ 10 C1=  1* 0.279 * 1  + 0.12 ( 0.3165) 10 =  0. 279 + 0.3978=  0.6588

b. Probability that exactly one of the selected adults says that he or she was too young to get tattoos is calculated as

P (x=1) =  0.12 (0.88)⁹ 10 C1=  0.12 ( 0.3165) 10 =  0.3978

c. Probability that none of the selected adults say that they were too young to get tattoos is

P (x=0) = 0.12 ⁰(0.88)¹⁰10 C0  =  1* 0.279 * 1   =  0. 279

The admision fee at a basket ball game is 350$ for children and 750$ for adults. On a certain night,1500 people enter the basket
Hoochie [10]

<u>Note: The only way to solve this problem is by adjusting the fees to $3.50 and $7.50.</u>

Answer:

<em>1300 children attended the basketball game</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

System of Equations

Let's call:

x = number of children attending the basketball game

y = number of adults attending the basketball game

On a certain night, 1500 people enter the game, thus:

x + y = 1500           [1]

Since each admission fee for children cost $3.50 and $7.50 for adults and it was collected $6050, thus:

3.50x + 7.50y = 6050            [2]

From [1]:

y = 1500 - x

Substituting in [2]:

3.50x + 7.50(1500 - x) = 6050

Operating:

3.50x +  11250 - 7.50 = 6050

-4x = 6050 - 11250

Solving:

x = 1300

1300 children attended the basketball game

Illusion [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are choices when it comes to color (3). Then there is the choice between a boy dog or a girl dog (2). Multiply the number of colors by the number of genders. (6)

When choosing a dog from random, you can either choose:

Brown/M

Brown/F

Black/M

Black/F

Yellow/M

Yellow/F

(This list is called the Sample Space, a list of all possible outcomes)

Because the text says that all types of dogs are found in even numbers, it would not matter if there was 6, 12, 18, ... amount of dogs.

When looking at this sample space, you can see that the chance of choosing a Yellow/F dog, is 1 in 6.

Replace ∗ with a monomial so that the derived expression may be represented as a square of a binomial: * +14b+49
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

  * = b²

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that the square of a binomial is of the form ...

  (x + y)² = x² + 2xy + y²

Matching given terms, we have ...

  49 = y²

  2xy = 14b

Solving the first of these relations for y, we have

  y = √49 = 7

Putting that in the second relation and solving for x, we find ...

  2x·7 = 14b

  14x = 14b

  x = b

Then the first term of the expansion, x², will be b².

The missing term is b².
