Answer:
98°
Step-by-step explanation:
x = 53° + 45° { exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of two opposite interior angles }
x = 98°
The answer is 280 degrees.

Answer:
- square: 12 ft sides
- octagon: 6 ft sides
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem can be worked in your head.
If the perimeters of the square and regular octagon are the same, the side length of the 4-sided square must be the same as the length of 2 sides of the 8-sided octagon. Since the side of the square is 6 ft more than the side of the octagon, each side of the octagon must be 6 ft, and each side of the square must be 12 ft.
__
We can let s represent the side length of the octagon. Then we have ...
8s = perimeter of octagon
4(s +6) = perimeter of square
These are equal, so ...
4(s +6) = 8s
s +6 = 2s . . . . . . divide by 4
6 = s . . . . . . . . . . subtract s
The octagon has 6-ft sides; the square has 12-ft sides.
Notice this is a geometric progression since each number multiplied by some factor equals the next number in the sequence, in this case,
Then by applying the formula for sum to infinity of a geometric progression,
Answer:
n= s/180 +2
Step-by-step explanation:
s=(n-2)180
/180
s/180=n-2
+2
s/180 +2 =n
