Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that the angels of a triangle have a sum of 180°. The angles of a rectangle have a sum of 360°. The angels of a pentagon have a sum of 540.
<u>Let me define the each terms.</u>
1. We know that each angle in a triangle is 60°, So there is a three angle in a regular triangle.
2. We know that each angle in a rectangle, is 90°, So there is a four angle in a regular rectangle.
Similarly,
- There is 8 angle in a regular octagon and each angle measurement is 135°.
So, sum of the angles of an octagon = 135° × 8
Sum of the angles of an octagon = 1080°
Therefore, the required sum of the angles of an octagon is 1080°
Solution
The dimension of the rectangular floor is 18ft long and 12 ft wide
Using the conversion table
It is given that 1yd =3 ft
This shows that
12 feet will be equivalent to

Also 18ft will be equialent to

Therefore the new dimension is 6 yard by 4 yard
The area will be

Therefore the required area is
Lowest common denominator for 3,4,6 is 12
5/6 = 10/12
1/4 = 3/12
2/3 = 8/12
a)
10/12 + 3/12 = 13/12 = 1 1/12
So you need to use first and second cables
b)
3/12 + 8/12 = 11/12
To reach 1 yard Carl need 1/12 yard cable
