Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If Kyle can get 5/8 of a shed built in x amount of time, he can get 62.5% done; if Jack can get 1/5 of the shed built in the same time, he can 20% of it done. As a ratio:

\frac{Kyle}{Jack}:\frac{62.5}{20}  Kyle gets the whole thing done, 100% of the way, leaving Jack lagging behind at a somewhat lower percentage of the work being done.

\frac{Kyle}{Jack}:\frac{62.5}{20}=\frac{100}{x} and cross multiply to solve for the percentage of the shed built by Jack by the time Kyle gets it completed:

62.5x = 2000 so

x = 32%

Let P(x) = 3x³-ax+b. If P(1) = P(-1) and P(2)=16, find the values of a and b
kozerog [31]

P(1) = P(-1)

P(1) = 3 - a + b
P(-1) = -3 + a + b

-> 3 - a + b = -3 + a + b
-> 3 - a + b + 3 - a - b = 0
-> 6 - 2a = 0
-> a = 3.

P(2) = 24 - 2a + b -> 24 - (2a - b) = 16 -> 2a - b = 8
-> 6 - b = 8
b = -2.

So, a = 3 and b = -2

Recheck : P(1) = 3 - 3 + (-2) = -2
P(-1) = -3 + 3 + (-2) = -2 => P(1) = P(-1) (true)

P(2) = 24 - 6 + (-2) = 16.

Find the measure of an interior angle and exterior angle of a regular 24gon
Julli [10]

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 <u>24 sides</u>. This can be found using the formula:

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

When '<em>n</em> = 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. <u>Assuming that this polygon is equilateral</u>, you can surmise that:

<em>Interior Angle</em> = sum° / <em>n</em>   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.
