Answer:

option (A) 62 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Ratio on the left = 434 miles : 14 gallons

ratio on the right = ?? : 2 gallons

Now,

The ratio on the both sides are equal

let the unknown value in the ratio be 'x'

Now, the ratio a : b can also be represented as \frac{a}{b}

therefore,

434 miles : 14 gallons = x : 2 gallons

or

⇒ \frac{\textup{434 miles}}{\textup{14 gallons}}  = \frac{\textup{x}}{\textup{2}}

or

⇒ x =  \frac{\textup{434 miles}}{\textup{14 gallons}}\times2 gallons}

or

⇒ x = 62 miles

Hence,

the correct answer is option (A) 62 miles

180n -360=1080

180n = 1080+360

180n =1440

dividing by 180

n=8

hence it is a regular polygon with 8 sides .I.e it is an octagon

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given the total interior angles in the polygon and we know that the formula to find the total interior angles of a polygon is (n-2) ×180

where n is the number of sides

The reason fractions need a common denominator before adding or subtracting is so that the numbers of pieces you are adding/subtracting are all the same size. Note that the numerator of a fraction just tells you how many pieces you have of that size.
