Answer:

Interior Angle: 165°

Exterior Angle: 15°

Step-by-step explanation:

So first you have to find the sum of all interior angles of a polygon with 24 sides. This can be found using the formula:

sum = ( n - 2 ) * 180° where 'n' is the number of sides.

When 'n = 24' then the sum is:

sum = ( 24 - 2 ) * 180°

Simplify and solve.

sum = 22 * 180°

sum = 3960°

Since there are 24 sides to the polygon, there are 24 interior angles. Assuming that this polygon is equilateral, you can surmise that:

Interior Angle = sum° / n where n is the number of sides,

3960° / 24 = 165° = Interior Angle

Using that information, and combine it with the [Supplementary Angles Theorem] the exterior angle can be found by:

165° + x = 180°

Solve for x.

Answer:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}y=-\dfrac{1}{9}x^2 +\dfrac{2}{9}x+\dfrac{89}{9}\\ \\y=\dfrac{1}{8}x^2 -7\end{array}\right.$

Step-by-step explanation:

1st boat:

Parabola equation:

$y=ax^2 +bx+c$

The x-coordinate of the vertex:

$x_v=-\dfrac{b}{2a}\Rightarrow -\dfrac{b}{2a}=1\\ \\b=-2a$

Equation:

$y=ax^2 -2ax+c$

The y-coordinate of the vertex:

$y_v=a\cdot 1^2-2a\cdot 1+c\Rightarrow a-2a+c=10\\ \\c-a=10$

Parabola passes through the point (-8,1), so

$1=a\cdot (-8)^2-2a\cdot (-8)+c\\ \\80a+c=1$

Solve:

$c=10+a\\ \\80a+10+a=1\\ \\81a=-9\\ \\a=-\dfrac{1}{9}\\ \\b=-2a=\dfrac{2}{9}\\ \\c=10-\dfrac{1}{9}=\dfrac{89}{9}$

Parabola equation:

$y=-\dfrac{1}{9}x^2 +\dfrac{2}{9}x+\dfrac{89}{9}$

2nd boat:

Parabola equation:

$y=ax^2 +bx+c$

The x-coordinate of the vertex:

$x_v=-\dfrac{b}{2a}\Rightarrow -\dfrac{b}{2a}=0\\ \\b=0$

Equation:

$y=ax^2+c$

The y-coordinate of the vertex:

$y_v=a\cdot 0^2+c\Rightarrow c=-7$

Parabola passes through the point (-8,1), so

$1=a\cdot (-8)^2-7\\ \\64a-7=1$

Solve:

$a=-\dfrac{1}{8}\\ \\b=0\\ \\c=-7$

Parabola equation:

$y=\dfrac{1}{8}x^2 -7$

System of two equations:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}y=-\dfrac{1}{9}x^2 +\dfrac{2}{9}x+\dfrac{89}{9}\\ \\y=\dfrac{1}{8}x^2 -7\end{array}\right.$

kherson [118]

The number could be several different ones. Are you sure that's exactly what the problem says? If not, I'm going to ask you write the entire problem. If not, then whoever made it did not give enough information for there to be an absolute answer. I'm sorry I couldn't help you, but I really hope I can with more information.
