The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of its terms.
The power of a term is the sum of the powers of all the variables in a term.
A polynomial is written starting with the greatest power in standard form.
In the first case, the power of the first term is 3, the power of the second is 3 (2 from x + 1 from y) but the power of x has decreased so it is the second term, and then so on.
In the second case, the power is starting form 2 and then increasing to 3. This is incorrect.
Therefore, Marcus' suggestion is correct.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Both triangles have three angles of the same value.
Remember that the angles in all triangles add up to 180°.
Let's use that to find out the unknown angles.
For the first triangle:
180 - 82 - 43 = 55°
55° is also in the second triangle.
Let's check with the second triangle:
180 - 82 - 55 = 43°
43° is also in the first triangle.
Therefore, both triangles are similar as the angles in both triangles are the same - 82°, 43° and 55°.
Hence, C.
Answer:
The perimeter of the base of the birdhouse is 36 units
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The complete question is</em></u>
Chase is building a birdhouse in the shape of a regular polygon. He knows that the measure of the interior angle is twice the measure of the exterior angle and the length of a diagonal that passes through the center is 12. What is the perimeter of the base of the birdhouse?
step 1
Find the measure of the interior angle
Let
x ---> the measure of the interior angle
y ---> the measure of the exterior angle
Remember that
the sum of the interior and exterior angle in any polygon is equal to 180 degrees
so
----> equation A
we have that
the measure of the interior angle is twice the measure of the exterior angle
so
----> equation B
substitute equation B in equation A


so

That means-----> The figure is a regular hexagon
step 2
Remember that
The length of the diagonal that passes through the center of the hexagon is equal to two times the length of the regular hexagon
Let
b ----> the length side of the hexagon
so

The perimeter of the hexagon is given by the formula

substitute

Yeah but what is the question?
