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

Katena32 [7]

Bank balance after 15 years is $950

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Find the simple interest on the principal amount using the formula SI = PRT/100 where Principal (P) = $500, Rate of Interest (R) = 6% and Time(T) = 15 years

⇒ SI = 500 × 6 × 15/100 = $450

  • Step 2: Find total amount using the formula Amount = P + SI

⇒ Amount = 500 + 450 = $950

A triangle can have sides of length 7, 9, and 18.<br><br> true <br> false
OleMash [197]

Answer:

That is false.

The sum of any two sides in a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side.

We can see that: 7+9 = 16, and 16 is not greater than 18.

So, this is not a triangle.

Let  me know if this helps!
