Explain why a regular polygon cannot have an interior angle that is 40°.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Minchanka [31]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the interior angle of any regular polygon is given as;

Interior Angle = 180(n - 2)/n

Where n is number of sides

We are told the interior angle is 40°

Thus;

180(n - 2)/n = 40

Cross multiply to get;

180n - 360 = 40n

180n - 40n = 360

140n = 360

n = 360/140

n = 2.57

Number of sides of a regular polygon cannot be in decimal nor can it have less than 3 sides.

Thus, a shape with interior angle of 40 cannot be a polygon.

Sauron [17]
Lets begin with our y=mx+b, our constant(b) is 800 that she earns as a salary, our x represents the amount she sells, m then represents the commission which is 8.25% so converting that to a decimal and replacing it as m gets us y = 0.0825x+800. Replace $4500 for x and we have y=0.0825(4500)+800 solve and we get $1171.25

You estimate that there are 45 marbles in a jar. The actual amount is 82 marbles. Find the percent error. Round to the nearest t
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

45.1

Step-by-step explanation:

The original amount is 82

But the wrong amount is 45

So we will have to calculate the percentage for the error

82-45

37

So %error= 37/82 ×100

=3700/82

=45.121~45.1( to nearest tenth)

So the final answer is 45.1%
