Find the value of X. Please show/explain work, and sorry if it’s hard to read
1 answer:
Answer:
x = 100°
Explanation:
The polygon has 6 sides, meaning it's a hexagon. In the picture you can see the following steps under #1:
(6-2) x 180° = 4 x 180 = 720°
720 is the total amount that all the angles should add up to, including the missing number x.
To solve for x add all of the angles up:
120 + 156 + 145 + (x + 9) + x + 90 = 720
520 + 2x = 720 (subtract 520 from both sides)
-520
2x = 200 (divide 200 by 2 to have x on its own)
x = 100°
To make sure it's correct, plug in the value (100°) for x in the original equation to check the answer:
120 + 156 + 145 + 100 + 9 + 100 + 90 = 720
720 = 720 Correct

Answer:
C. Obtuse
Step-by-step explanation:
The "form factor" I use for this is ...
a^2 + b^2 - c^2 = 6^2 + 8^2 - 11^2 = 36 +64 -121 = -21
The value is negative, indicating an OBTUSE triangle.

<em>Additional comment</em>
In this expression, 'a' and 'b' are the two shortest sides (in no particular order) and 'c' is the longest side. The interpretation is ...
negative — obtuse
zero — right
positive — acute

If you're familiar with Pythagorean triples, you know that the 3-4-5 right triangle triple can be doubled to give 6-8-10. The long side of 11 is longer than the hypotenuse for the right triangle, so would correspond to a largest angle greater than 90°. The 6-8-11 triangle would be OBTUSE.
