Answer:

540°

Step-by-step explanation:

When you have a polygon (shape with 3+ sides), you can split the shape into the lowest number of triangles and use that to calculate the interior angles of the shape. Thus works because triangles have angles that always add up to 180°

A Pentagon can be split into 3 triangles minimum, which means you have 180 + 180 + 180. Or...

180 x 3 = 540

part 2. Find the value of the trig function indicated, use for that Pythagorean theorem to find the third side if you need it.

Answer: $\bold{5)\ \cos \theta=\dfrac{\sqrt{11}}{6}\qquad 6)\ \tan \theta =\dfrac{8}{17}\qquad 7)\ \cos \theta = \dfrac{4}{3}\qquad 8)\ \cos \theta = \dfrac{\sqrt{10}}{10}}$

Step-by-Step Explanation:

Pythagorean Theorem is: a² + b² = c² , where "c" is the hypotenuse

$5)\ \cos \theta=\dfrac{\text{side adjacent to}\ \theta}{\text{hypotenuse of triangle}}=\dfrac{3\sqrt{11}}{18}\quad \rightarrow \large\boxed{\dfrac{\sqrt{11}}{6}}$

Note: (15)² + (3√11)² = hypotenuse² → hypotenuse = 18

$6)\ \cos \theta=\dfrac{\text{side adjacent to}\ \theta}{\text{hypotenuse of triangle}}=\dfrac{8}{17}\quad =\large\boxed{\dfrac{8}{17}}$

Note: 8² + 15² = hypotenuse² → hypotenuse = 17

$7)\ \tan \theta=\dfrac{\text{side opposite to}\ \theta}{\text{side adjacent to}\ \theta}=\dfrac{20}{15}\quad \rightarrow \large\boxed{\dfrac{4}{3}}$

Note: hypotenuse not needed for tan

$8)\ \cos \theta=\dfrac{\text{side adjacent to}\ \theta}{\text{hypotenuse of triangle}}=\dfrac{2}{2\sqrt{10}}\quad =\large\boxed{\dfrac{\sqrt{10}}{10}}$

Note: 2² + 6² = hypotenuse² → hypotenuse = 2√10

Find the difference: 2(x-2) - 3(x-4)

cluponka [151]

Answer:

brainliest plzzzzz

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x-2) - 3(x-4)

Simplify:

2(x-2)-3(x-4)

2x-4-3(x-4)

Distribute:

2x-4-3(x-4)

2x-4-3x+12

Add the numbers:

2x-4-3x+12

2x+8-3x

Combine like terms:

2x+8-3x

-x+8

Hence Solution = -x+8

Make y the subject of the formula W= x squared - 2yz

AveGali [126]

Answer:

The formula $y = \frac{x^{2} }{2z} + \frac{W}{2z}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation

Given W = x² - 2 y z

2 y z = x² + W

Dividing '2z' on both sides , we get

$\frac{2yz}{2z} = \frac{x^{2} + W}{2z}$

⇒ $y = \frac{x^{2} }{2z} + \frac{W}{2z}$
