Answer:

(a) Measured GDP will decrease by $200,0000

(b) No

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the total value in monetary terms of al the goods produced in a geographic location.

There will be a $200,000 decrease in the value of the GDP of the community as a result of reduction in the community spending from $1 million to $800,000.

(b) Generally, GDP is not a true indicator of welfare, likewise in this case, GDP does not reflect the welfare of the community.

There's a decrease in the community spending from $1 million to $800,000 but there's an increase in the welfare of the community as a result of decrease in crime rate.

What is the sum of the exterior angles of a 54-gon?
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer: The sum of the exterior angles of a 54-gon should be 360°.

Step-by-step explanation:

A polygon is a closed figure made up of straight lines like triangle (3-gon) , quadrilateral (4-gon) , square(4-gon), pentagon (5-gon) , octagon(8-gon) etc.

The sum of exterior angles of any polygon with n sides ( or n-gon ) is always 360 degrees.

A 54-gon is a polygon with 54 sides.

Therefore , the sum of the exterior angles of a 54-gon should be 360°.
