F=length of first piece=x; S=length of second piece=2x

T=length of third piece=3x

.

F+S+T=24 inches

x+2x+3x=24 inches

6x=24in

F=x=4in

ANSWER 1: The length of the first piece is 4 inches.

.

S=2x=2(4in)=8in

ANSWER 2: The length of the second piece is 8 inches.

.

T=3x=3(4in)=12 inches.

ANSWER 3: The length of the third piece is 12 inches.

.

CHECK:

F+S+T=24in

4in+8in+12in=24in

24in=24in

How many sides does a polygon have if the sum of the measures of the interior angles is 3960
anastassius [24]

Answer: the polygon has 20 sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining the sum of the measure of the interior angles in a regular polygon is expressed as (n - 2) × 180.

if the sum of the measures of the interior angles is 3960

degrees. This means that

(n - 2) × 180 = 3960

Expanding the brackets by applying the distributive property, it becomes

180n - 360 = 3960

180n = 3960 - 360

180n = 3600

Dividing both sides by 180, it becomes

n = 3600/180

n = 20
