Find the measure of one interior angle for the following regular polygon

Mathematics

shusha [124]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming that by "interior" angle you do not mean the central angle.

This is a 10-sided polygon, a decagon. That means that there are 10 triangles that can extend from the center, with their sides being equal to the radii of the decagon. If we extract one of these triangles we can find what the interior angle is. The vertex angle measures 360/10 which is 36.

Split this triangle in half from the vertex to the base, creating a right triangle. The vertex angle is also split in half, making this angle (the vertex angle is the one at the top of the triangle) 18 degrees. We already know that one angle inside this right triangle is 90 (definition of a right triangle) and to find the other one, we apply the Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem:

180 - 18 - 90 = 72 degrees. That is the measure of the base angle that is NOT the right angle, obviously.

One of the legs of a right triangle is twice as long as the other, and the perimeter of the triangle is 35. Find the
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

6.68, 13.37, 14.95

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the legs is twice as long as the other.

b = 2a

The perimeter is 35.

35 = a + b + c

The triangle is a right triangle.

c² = a² + b²

Three equations, three variables.  Start by plugging the first equation into the second and solving for c.

35 = a + 2a + c

c = 35 − 3a

Now plug this and the first equation into the Pythagorean theorem:

(35 − 3a)² = a² + (2a)²

1225 − 210a + 9a² = a² + 4a²

1225 − 210a + 4a² = 0

Solve with quadratic formula:

a = [ -(-210) ± √((-210)² − 4(4)(1225)) ] / 2(4)

a = (210 ± √24500) / 8

a ≈ 6.68 or 45.82

Since the perimeter is 35, a = 6.68.  Therefore, the other sides are:

b ≈ 13.37

c ≈ 14.95

HELPP ME ITS BEEN SO LONG HELP PLEASEEE HELP PLEASEE HELPP Stevie needed twine for the gifts she was wrapping for a family party
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Your answer would be:

57.75 or 57 3/4

(I will show how many of each length of twine that is on the graph)

Point 2 1/4:

2

Point 2 3/4:

4

Point 3:

1

Point 3 1/2:

2

Point 3 3/4:

3

Point 4:

1

Point 4 1/4:

4

We can show how much length in total Stevie used with the following equation:

(2 1/4 x 2) + (2 3/4 x 4) + ( 3 x 1 ) + ( 3 1/2 x 2 ) + (3 3/4 x 3 ) + (4 x 1 ) + (4 1/4 x 4)

Each smaller equation in paraphrases shows how much of each length of twine at each point with x's on the number line. Altogether it would equal 57.75 or 57 3/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Have a great rest of your day

mezya [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

75x + -300 = 25x + 200

Reorder the terms:

-300 + 75x = 25x + 200

Reorder the terms:

-300 + 75x = 200 + 25x

Solving

-300 + 75x = 200 + 25x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-25x' to each side of the equation.

-300 + 75x + -25x = 200 + 25x + -25x

Combine like terms: 75x + -25x = 50x

-300 + 50x = 200 + 25x + -25x

Combine like terms: 25x + -25x = 0

-300 + 50x = 200 + 0

-300 + 50x = 200

Add '300' to each side of the equation.

-300 + 300 + 50x = 200 + 300

Combine like terms: -300 + 300 = 0

0 + 50x = 200 + 300

50x = 200 + 300

Combine like terms: 200 + 300 = 500

50x = 500

Divide each side by '50'.

x = 10

Simplifying

x = 10
