Step-by-step explanation:

A regular n-sided polygon has n axes of symmetry. The angle between two consecutive axes is 360° / n.

In the case of an octagon, the angle is 360° / 8 = 45°.

Can someone help me find the slope?

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

First, take 2 points from the table given, then you use the equation y2-y1/x2-x1 to find your slope. So, if I take the coordinates (7,1) and (7,2) and plug them into my equation, I would get 2-1/7-7. If you solve this equation, you will end up wil 1/0. Now, if you have something like this as your answer, you can not find your slope. There can not be a slope because the zero is at the bottom, making this "Undefined".

Solve for the angle x.

sergejj [24]

Answer:

x=45

Step-by-step explanation:

An entire triangle is 180 degrees and you already know that one angle is 90 degrees. 180 - 90 is 90. Now you have the equation 2x=90.

You then divide each side by 2 to get the x by itself which leaves you with x=45.

Trigonometric Ratios

The ratios of the sides of a right triangle are called trigonometric ratios.

Selecting any of the acute angles, it has an adjacent side and an opposite side. The trigonometric ratios are defined upon those sides and the hypotenuse.

The given right triangle has an angle of measure 51° and its adjacent leg has a measure of 19 units. It's required to calculate the hypotenuse of the triangle.

We use the cosine ratio to calculate x:

$\displaystyle \cos\theta=\frac{\text{adjacent leg}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$
