Answer:

6 sides

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of one interior angle of a regular polygon is two times the measure of one of its exterior angles. How many sides does this polygon have?

Let us represent:

Sum of Exterior angle as x

Sum of Interior angle as y

Note that:

The sum of the exterior angles of a polygon = 180 - The sum of the interior angles

Hence,

The sum of the exterior angles of a polygon + The sum of the interior angles = 180

x + y = 180

The measure of one interior angle of a regular polygon is two times the measure of one of its exterior angles.

2x = y

Substituting

x + 2x = 180°

3x = 180°

x = 180/3

x = 60°

Solving for y

2x = y

2 × 60° = y

120° = y

Hence,

Sum of Exterior angle as x = 60°

Sum of Interior angle as y = 120°

The number of sides of a polygon is

360°÷ Sum of Exterior angles

= 360° ÷ 60

= 6 sides

Answer:

7i) 140  7ii) 80  7iii) 60  8i) isosceles  8ii) 74  8iii) 60  8iv) 46 degrees  9i) 56  

9ii) 80  9iii) 62  10) Angle c is 64 degrees. Angle d is 26 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

7i) Add up all the interior angles. Since the triangle is isosceles, there are two 70 degree angles. The exterior angle is equal to the two 70 degree angles together, or 140 degrees.

7ii) Add up all the interior angles. Since the triangle is isosceles, there are two 40 degree angles. The exterior angle is equal to the two 40 degree angles together, or 80 degrees.

7iii) Add up all the interior angles. Since the left triangle is isosceles, there are two 30 degree angles. The exterior angle is equal to the two 30 degrees angles together, or 60 degrees.

8i) This is an isosceles triangle because two of the sides are the same length.

8ii) Since the triangle is isosceles, there are two 74 degree angles, and angle BDC is one of them.

8iii) Since the triangle is equilateral, all of the angles equal 60 degrees. This means that angle DAB is 60 degrees.

8iv) Add together 60 degrees from the equilateral and 74 degrees from the isosceles triangle and subtract that sum from 180. 180 - (60 + 74) = 46 degrees.

9i) Angles x and 56 are consecutive interior angles, which means they are the same measure.

9ii) Since the triangle is isosceles, two of the angles are 50 degrees, so subtract 100 from 180 to find the other angle. 180 - 100 = 80 Angles 80 and x are alternate interior angles, which means they are the same measure.

9iii) Angle is has a measure of 62 degrees because the two triangles are the same except for the size, which doesn't matter.

10) Since the left triangle is isosceles, there are two 58 degree angles, so subtract the sum of the two angles from 180. 180 - 116 = 64 degrees  Looking at the triangle on the right, add together the 64 and 90 degree angles and subtract from 180 to find the measure of angle d. 180 - 154 = 26 degrees

Which equation represents a line parallel to 3x-8y=12?
TEA [102]

Answer:

B. y = -3/8x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation: 3x - 8y = 12

Find a parallel line that matches one of the equations shown.

First, find the slope by solving for y:

3x - 8y = 12

8y = -3x + 12

y = -3/8x + 12/8

y = -3/8x + 3/2

Slope m = -3/8

Since the slope of a line parallel is the same slope, the only equation that fits the conditions is B because in the form y = mx + b, m = -3/8
