Answer:
a) Here we have:
"In Family A, the youngest child is 7 years younger than the oldest, who is 18"
Let's define:
Y = age of the youngest child.
O = age of the oldest child.
Then we know that:
Y = O - 7
O = 18
Then we can replace the second equation into the first one:
Y = 18 - 7 = 11.
b) Here we have:
"In Family B, the middle child is 5 years older than the youngest child."
Let's define:
Y = age of the youngest child.
M = age of the middle child.
Here we have only one equation:
M = Y + 5.
I believe the correct answer would be that it has one solution which is 5. Calculating x for the quadratic equation, you will only get one value so it should be one solution. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
Answer:
Types of polygon
Polygons can be regular or irregular. If the angles are all equal and all the sides are equal length it is a regular polygon.
Regular and irregular polygons
Interior angles of polygons
To find the sum of interior angles in a polygon divide the polygon into triangles.
Irregular pentagons
The sum of interior angles in a triangle is 180°. To find the sum of interior angles of a polygon, multiply the number of triangles in the polygon by 180°.
Example
Calculate the sum of interior angles in a pentagon.
A pentagon contains 3 triangles. The sum of the interior angles is:
180 * 3 = 540
The number of triangles in each polygon is two less than the number of sides.
The formula for calculating the sum of interior angles is:
(n - 2) * 180 (where n is the number of sides)
5 units because your starting from (-2,-2) so the last -2 will stay and the first number(-2) will go up until you hit the (,3) which will be 5 units away
