Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We have 15! as the product of 1 to 15 natural numbers.  Since 17 is prime there will be no factor common to these

By actual division we find

15! (mod 17) =16

From this we deduce

even 16! mod 17 = 16 = -1

According to Wilson theorem

(17-1)! = -1 mod 17

Thus verified 17 is prime

Hence 15! (mod 17) =-1=16

-----------------------

b) 2(26!) is divided by 29

Since 29 is prime

(29-1)! = -1 mod 29

28! = -1 mod 29 = 28

When divided this gives 25 as remainder

Approximately how many degrees are in the measure of an interior angle of a regular seven sided polygon
kramer
The interior angle of a regular polygon is equal to each other since all sides of the polygon are congruent. The formula that expresses the relation of the sides of the polygon and the measurement of the interior angle is (n2)*180/n where n is 7. Each interior angle then measures 128.6 degrees.

What is the volume rounded to the nearest whole number?
Semenov [28]

Answer:

13 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a skewed pyramid, but that doesn't change the way you find the volume of the figure.

The formula for the volume of a pyramid is 1/3(b)(h)

Multiply 6 by 6.5 to get 39, then divide it by 3 to get 13 in³
