Answer:

-0.25 ; 120 seconds 72 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Dive rate is constant :

Change in elevation after 8 seconds :

18 feets to 20 feets below

Rate of change = distance / time

(18 - 20) feets / 8 seconds

(-2 / 8) = - 0.25 feets per second

To reach 50.feets :

She needs to cover (50 - 20) = 30 feets

Time = distance / speed ; 30 feets / 0.25 = 120 seconds

Find the number of sides for a regular polygon whose interior angles each measure 10 times each exterior angle

gavmur [86]

Answer:

22 sides

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression to find an interior angle of a polygon is:

$\frac{(n-2)*180}{n}$

The expression to find an exterior angle of a polygon is:

$\frac{360}{n}$

Please note that "n" represents the number of sides the polygon has.

We can use these two expressions to set up an equation.

$\frac{(n-2)*180}{n}=10(\frac{360}{n})$

Multiply both sides by "n":

$(n-2)*180=10n(\frac{360}{n})$

Now, distribute:

$180(n)-180(2)=\frac{3600n}{n}\\180n-360=3600$

Divide both sides by 10:

$\frac{180n}{10}-\frac{360}{10}=\frac{3600}{10}\\$

$18n-36=360$

Add 36 to both sides:

$18n=360+36\\18n=396$

Divide both sides by 18:

$n=22$

The polygon has 22 sides
