9514 1404 393

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From a given vertex, two of the vertices are adjacent, so a "diagonal" to those will not form a triangle. The number of diagonals that can be drawn is 3 fewer than the number of sides. The number of triangles is 1 more than the number of diagonals.

For a 5-sided figure, 2 diagonals can be drawn from a common vertex.

3 triangles will be formed.

Evaluate |x + y|, for x = 8 and y = -15. 7 -7 23 -23

natka813 [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When evaluating absolute values, a great way to remember what they do is simple. No matter the number, whether it is negative or positive, the number(s) IN THE absolute values are ALWAYS positive.

So, |x + y| is then substituted with the numbers given for the variables.

|x + y|

|8 - 15|

|-7|

Hope this helps!
