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

Dimas [21]

Answer:

$17.14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : y = - 0.34x^2 + 4.43x + 3.46

To Find : Using the quadratic regression equation, what was the predicted profit in year 8

Solution :

y = - 0.34x^2 + 4.43x + 3.46

Where y is profit and x is year

Substitute x = 8

y = -0.34(8)^2 + 4.43(8) + 3.46

y =17.14

So, Option D is true

Hence the predicted profit in year 8 is $17.14

What is the average of 17/15
blondinia [14]
The average of 17 and 15 is 16 because if you add 17 and 15 together, and you divide them by 2, you get 16.
