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°
Yes- though we may say "When will we ever use this?" ever so often in class, the reality is that we use mathematics in everyday life. From simple addition, to factoring, to finding the angles of various components to a building, math is always being used in real life.
Answer:
x=3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2+4x=5
x+4x=5x
5x+2=5
-2 -2
5x=3
divide 5 from each side
5/5x=3/5
<u>x=3/5</u>
Answer:
From the sum of angles on a straight line, given that the rotation of each triangle attached to the sides of the octagon is 45° as they move round the perimeter of the octagon, the angle a which is supplementary to the angle turned by the triangles must be 135 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the triangles are eight in number we have;
1) (To simplify), we consider the five triangles on the left portion of the figure, starting from the bottom-most triangle which is inverted upside down
2) We note that to get to the topmost triangle which is upright , we count four triangles, which is four turns
3) Since the bottom-most triangle is upside down and the topmost triangle, we have made a turn of 180° to go from bottom to top
4) Therefore, the angle of each of the four turns we turned = 180°/4 = 45°
5) When we extend the side of the octagon that bounds the bottom-most triangle to the left to form a straight line, we see the 45° which is the angle formed between the base of the next triangle on the left and the straight line we drew
6) Knowing that the angles on a straight line sum to 180° we get interior angle in between the base of the next triangle on the left referred to above and the base of the bottom-most triangle as 180° - 45° = 135°.
