What does the 180 mean in this (n-2)180 and why do we multiply it

Mathematics

Answer:

Polygons can be separated into triangles by drawing all the diagonals that can be drawn from one single vertex. If you look back at the formula, you'll see that n – 2 gives the number of triangles in the polygon, and that number is multiplied by 180, the sum of the measures of all the interior angles in a triangle.

A pair of equations is shown below:
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

A. x=2, y = 7.

B. (2, 7).

Step-by-step explanation:

A. You can eliminate y by subtracting the equations:

y =  8x - 9

y =  4x - 1       Subtract:

0 =  4x - 8

4x = 8

x = 8/4 = 2.

Now substitute for x in the first equation:

y = 8(2) - 9 = 7.

Check in the second equation:

y = 4x - 1

7 = 4(2) - 1 = 7.  Check is OK.

B. On the graph they will intersect at the point (2, 7).

They will intersect here because the values x=2 and y=7 satisfy both the 2 equations.

A chef placed an order for 50 pounds of fish. He calculated that he will need 20 3/5 pounds for lunch orders. How much fish will
andrezito [222]

Answer:

29 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 5 fifths make up a whole. The chef only needs 3/5 of that whole, so we still have 2 fifths remaining. Now, we have to subtract 50 by the number of lunch orders, 20. 50 subtracted by 20 is equal to 30, but we have to subtract a whole because of the fraction. We get the number 29. Then, we add the remaining fraction back. We get the answer as 29 2/5.

Best of Luck!
